INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAUNDERING WOOL FILLED COMFORTERS
QUILTS & PILLOWS

Method One for Comforters:

     Remove the cover from the comforter. You will have to remove any ties and open one end of the cover. This will allow you to slide the cover off the batting. The cover can then be safely laundered according to the specifications of the material. Put the batting into your washer using your regular detergent and allow the washer to fill with warm water. DO NOT ALLOW THE WASHER TO AGITATE!!!! Fill the washer until the batting is completely covered. You may push the batting down to completely submerge it. Let the batting soak for about 10 minutes and then spin out the water. Refill again using the same temperature water for the rinse, soak, and then spin out. Your wool batting does not need to be agitated to be cleaned. You are ready to dry your batting. Lay the batting out flat, reshaping it as you spread it out.

Method Two for Comforters and Quilts:

     You may wash your comforter/quilt without removing its cover. Pretreat any spots or stains on the cover. Put the entire comforter/quilt into the washer. Adjust the temperature of the water to the specifications of the cover material. The Wool may be washed in Hot, Warm or Cool water. DO NOT ALLOW THE WASHER TO AGITATE!!!! Fill the washer until the comforter/quilt is completely covered. You may push the comforter/quilt down to completely submerge it. Let it soak for about 10 minutes and then spin out the water. Refill the washer again using the same temperature water for the rinse. Soak, and then spin out. You are ready to dry your comforter/quilt. Lay it out flat, reshaping it as you spread it out. After it is dry, you may need to use a warm iron to remove any wrinkles.

Method Three for Comforters and Quilts:

     This method can be used without removing the cover or with removal of the comforter cover. Place the comforter/quilt/batting into the bathtub. Fill the tub with warm water or with a temperature suitable for the cover. Use your regular detergent and push the comforter/quilt/batting under the water to complete submerge it. Allow it to soak for about 10-15 minutes. Drain the water out of the tub and prop up the comforter/quilt/batt allowing it to drain. Let it drain for about ½ hour , you may wish to push on it to squeeze more water out. Do not wring it out as it will cause the batting to separate. Refill the tub for the rinse using the same temperature water, drain, press against tub until most of the water has been removed. Lay out flat to dry - reshaping it as you lay it out. You may need to use a warm iron to press the wrinkles from the cover.
