One of the biggest annoyances when it comes to cleaning your home, is how to clean your comforters. Most bedspreads and comforters are either made of materials that aren’t washable or they’re simply too large to fit in the average washing machine and dryer. This usually leaves people with two options, either dry cleaning or taking their comforters to the laundromat. But there are a few easy ways to care for your comforters to make them last longer and also wash them less often.

- Avoid having food, drinks or pets on your bedspreads. Stains from food or pets can become permanent. Washing your comforters more often due to spills, pet stains or pet odors can very quickly wear them out and cause you to have to replace them more frequently. Simply avoiding the cause of stains on your comforters is much easier.

- If your synthetic comforters are washable, take them to a nearby laundromat that has oversized washers and dryers. Making sure the washer and dryer is large enough for your comforters is important. An undersized washer or dryer will not properly clean your comforters and will cause extra wear on them.

- Synthetic comforters that are non-washable usually must be dry cleaned. However, you can occasionally hang them outside over a clothesline for a few hours. This will help keep them fresh-smelling and will help keep dust to a minimum.

- Having more than one comforter will help keep you from having to replace comforters more frequently. Get a light-weight synthetic comforter for summer time and a heavier synthetic one for winter time. Switching them out every season is easy and you will find yourself washing them less often as well.

Overall, synthetic comforters are usually much easier to care for than those made of 100% cotton or feather down. If you want something easily washable, make sure you read all labels before purchasing comforters and ensure you’re getting something that suits your needs as far as maintenance.
