Either wash your comforter in a coin-operated, extra large capacity commercial machine, or have it professionally laundered. Never dry clean your comforter, which causes colors to fade. When storing your comforter for the summer, protect it from dust and humidity by storing it in a zippered bedding bag. Liven up an old and faded comforter , and change the look of your bedroom at the same time, with a duvet cover. This is like a giant pillowcase for your comforter, secured at the top with Velcro or button closures.
Duvet covers are easy to remove and launder - a real plus for allergy sufferers in particular.
Then the Vellux blanket is for you. Velvety soft, wonderfully lightweight, and virtually indestructible, Vellux blankets look and perform like new, even after repeated washings. The blankets never pill, never fade, won't shrink or fray, and are remarkably warm and cuddly - perfect for your whole family and your special guests. For best results, launder Vellux blankets every six months or so. When you store your blankets, store them unwrapped, rather than in sealed plastic.
