I had some water damage during a recent tornado and the bedding in my guest room got soaked. I washed everything (didn’t go in dryer) but a brown stain from the water remained. I’m trying to save my duvet cover that is made of 55% linen and 45% cotton. Can anyone give me ideas on what to try? I was considering putting vinegar in the wash? I’d appreciate any advise… I really loved this cover and searched a long time for it.

my older dog peed on my white comforter that was laying on the side of the bed we scrubbed it with hard floor stain remover (we just ran out of the carpet satin remover) but now its wet and and has yellow pee still on it is there anything i can put on it. i thinks it is too big to put in the washer

My cat urinated on my white feather down comforter. The tag says “dry clean” – but the dry cleaner says he cannot remove the stain or the smell.

Can I wash and dry in regular washer/dryer? Should I use bleach?

Here, you will find a few tips to remove pet hairs that seem to stick to your comforter like magnets. You can do a few things that will reduce the amount of hairs around your bedroom. Start with giving a bath to your pet on monthly bases and dry out the animal’s fur. It is important to know that you should use low heat on your dryer while drying the pet’s hairs. Otherwise, you might hurt your pet by burning the skin, which could be painful. Also, you must brush your pet dally to reduces the amount of hairs that will stick to your comforter. By performing the step above you will be amazed at the smaller amounts of hairs you will see around your bedroom.

Now that you have done your best to reduce the amount of pet hair, you can clean your comforter. There isn’t really an easy way to keep the pet hairs off the comforter. I would suggest that you get your comforter dry clean, and I would buy a comforter cover, or duvet cover to keep the hairs off. It’s much easier to change the duvet covers, or the comforters sets cover and wash it, instead of washing or dry cleaning the comforter a few times a month. Dry cleaning can be expensive if you have to do it often. Washing your comforter could be time consuming. Remember, comforters take forever to dry.

If your pet urinated on your comforter take it to the local laundry mat and wash it with a small amount of detergent. Spray the stain with any regular stain remover will help. Wash the comforter in warm water. Use detergent for delicates, and also an extra rinse cycle. The drying will take very long – a few hours depending on the size of the comforter. Put a few new tennis balls and a pair of socks while drying the comforter. This should speed up the drying process.

Do not try to clean up the satin at home. You will end up with a bigger mess then you started. Do not lay it flat if you have already tried cleaning it. The feathers will clump and dry that way. Follow the simple directions above and your comforter should be clean as new.

After all, you might want to keep your pet away from your bedroom. Create a new cozy place, just like your comforter, so your pet stays away from you bedding.
