Care Instructions for Organic Textiles Comforters
Your comforter is designed to provide natural comfort and long-lasting performance. Because each material has unique qualities, it requires specific care. Please review the appropriate instructions below for your comforter type.
Wool Comforters
Wool is a natural fiber with excellent temperature-regulating qualities. Handle with care to maintain its shape and performance.
-
Washing Frequency: Wash every 2–6 months; no need to wash for the first 2 months if using a duvet cover.
-
Protection: Always use a duvet cover (organic cotton is best).
-
Washing: Most wool comforters are not washable. If labeled washable, use a large-capacity washer, delicate cycle, and biodegradable detergent. Avoid slow-spin cycles.
-
Drying: Line dry or air dry thoroughly. Once dry, tumble on low to fluff. Extended drying time is essential since inner layers retain moisture.
-
Spot Cleaning: Use hydrogen peroxide for stains. Apply, let dry, and repeat until stain lifts.
⚠️ Do not bleach. Do not use high heat. Do not dry clean unless the label specifies.
Cotton Comforters
Organic cotton comforters are durable, breathable, and relatively easy to care for.
-
Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, non-chlorine detergent. Wash separately to avoid abrasion.
-
Drying: Tumble dry low or line dry. Remove while slightly damp to prevent wrinkles.
-
Spot Cleaning: For small stains, blot with diluted detergent and water.
-
Protection: Always use a duvet cover to reduce the need for frequent washing.
Bamboo-Tencel Comforters
Bamboo-Tencel blends are soft, silky, and highly breathable. They require gentle care to preserve their fibers.
-
Washing: Machine wash in cold water, gentle cycle, with mild detergent.
-
Drying: Line dry or tumble dry low. Avoid high heat, which can weaken fibers.
-
Special Note: Wash separately from rough fabrics (like denim or towels) to prevent pilling.
-
Protection: A duvet cover is recommended for longevity.
Bamboo-Organic Cotton Comforters
This blend combines durability with silky softness. Care is similar to cotton but with added attention to preserving bamboo fibers.
-
Washing: Cold water, gentle cycle, mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
-
Drying: Low heat tumble or line dry. Do not over-dry.
-
Spot Cleaning: Use mild soap and water; avoid harsh scrubbing.
-
Protection: Use a duvet cover to minimize wear.
Down Alternative Comforters
Made with hypoallergenic fill, down alternatives are designed for easy care.
-
Washing: Machine wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent. Wash with like items or alone in a large-capacity washer.
-
Drying: Tumble dry on low with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to maintain loft. Ensure the comforter is completely dry before storing.
-
Spot Cleaning: Use mild soap and water for stains.
-
Protection: Use a duvet cover to reduce washing frequency.
Real Down Comforters
Down requires delicate handling to maintain its loft and insulating properties.
-
Washing: Wash only when necessary, ideally once or twice a year. Use a front-loading large-capacity washer, cold water, and mild down-specific detergent.
-
Drying: Tumble dry on low with dryer balls/tennis balls to prevent clumping. Expect extended drying time—check repeatedly to ensure the down inside is completely dry.
-
Spot Cleaning: Blot with mild detergent and water.
-
Protection: Always use a duvet cover to minimize direct washing.
⚠️ Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Improper washing or drying may damage the down fill.
✅ General Tip for All Comforters: Always read and follow the care label on your product. Using a duvet cover is the best way to extend the life of your comforter, reduce washing frequency, and preserve softness and loft.
