Machine Washing Your Bed Cover
Washing your bed cover in a machine is a straightforward process, but following a few key steps ensures it gets clean and stays in good condition.
Choosing the Right Detergent
- Most mattress covers can be effectively cleaned using regular detergent.
- For bed covers that are down-filled, you will need to use specialty down cleaners. Products like Nikwax Down Wash are suitable for this purpose.
Loading the Washer
When using a washing machine, proper loading is important for an even clean and to maintain the machine's balance.
- Load the cover on its own. Avoid washing other items with the bed cover.
- Washing the cover alone helps keep the washer in balance during the cycle.
- It also ensures the cover cleans evenly, as there's plenty of space for water and detergent to circulate.
