Washing your comforter is an important part of maintaining its cleanliness and extending its lifespan. However, when you have a bulky comforter that doesn’t fit in your washing machine, it can be quite a challenge. Don’t worry, we have got you covered! In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps of washing your bulky comforter effectively, even without a large washing machine.

Can you wash a bulky comforter in a washing machine?

While it is possible to wash smaller-sized comforters in a standard washing machine, larger or bulky comforters may not fit properly or may get damaged due to the machine’s limitations. It is recommended to use a commercial-sized washing machine for bulky comforters, but not everyone has access to one. So, let’s explore alternative methods for cleaning your comforter.

Method 1: Utilize a laundromat

If you don’t have a large washing machine at home, consider taking your bulky comforter to a nearby laundromat. Laundromats usually have oversized washers that can accommodate comforters of various sizes. Follow these steps:

  • Gather your comforter and any necessary cleaning supplies.
  • Select an appropriate washing machine at the laundromat.
  • Add mild detergent specifically suitable for bulky items.
  • Place your comforter in the machine and close the door.
  • Set the machine to a gentle or delicate cycle.
  • Start the washing cycle and wait for it to complete.
  • Once finished, transfer your comforter to a dryer or take it home to air dry.

Method 2: Handwashing your comforter

If you prefer to wash your comforter at home, you can opt for the handwashing method. Follow these steps:

  • Fill a bathtub or a large basin with lukewarm water.
  • Add a suitable amount of mild detergent and mix it well.
  • Submerge your comforter fully into the water and agitate it gently.
  • Allow the comforter to soak for a few minutes.
  • Drain the soapy water and refill the tub with clean water for rinsing.
  • Gently press down on the comforter to remove excess water.
  • Repeat the rinsing process until the water runs clear.
  • Squeeze out any remaining water without wringing or twisting.
  • Hang your comforter outside or lay it flat on a clean surface to air dry completely.

Method 3: Utilize a large capacity washing machine

If you have access to a large capacity washing machine, you can try using it to wash your bulky comforter. Though it may not fit perfectly, it can still provide a decent cleaning. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Select an appropriate washing machine with the largest capacity available.
  • Place your comforter inside and make sure it’s evenly distributed.
  • Add a suitable amount of detergent designed for bulky items.
  • Choose a gentle or delicate cycle to prevent any potential damage.
  • Start the washing cycle and wait for it to complete.
  • Transfer your comforter to a dryer or air dry it as mentioned earlier.

Remember to always check the care label on your comforter for any specific instructions or restrictions before attempting any of the above methods.

Bye-bye, bulky dirt!

Now that you know how to wash your bulky comforter even when it doesn’t fit in your washing machine, there’s no need to worry about dirt and stains anymore. Follow these methods, and your comforter will be clean, fresh, and ready for a cozy night’s sleep. Happy laundering!
