When totally soaked with water, down comforters can be very heavy. The first thing you need to do then is to take into account the capacity of your home washer. This will avoid the risk of damaging both the comforter and the machine. Then you can begin to take the following simple steps on how to wash down comforter the right way. When loading a down comforter into the washer, see to it that you do not need to crumple to fit it inside. The reason is that it is certain to be within the capacity of the washing machine if you don't have to do such. Make sure also that the amount of soap or detergent use is minimal only since excessive quantity will damage the downs. Then make sure to run twice the rinse process to totally wash off the remaining detergents. When it comes to the drying temperature, be careful not to set it at a high level since the down comforter may be damaged. Better put it at a low level even if it means taking longer time to dry off. One useful method to follow is to put tennis balls inside the machine during the drying to fluff the down comforter and avoid clumping. If the down comforter remains damp, repeat the drying cycle or better yet get it out and hang it to dry under the sun.
