If your comforter does not fit into the machine easily, you should wash it by hand. If your comforter is made out of a delicate material such as lace, you should hand-wash your comforter instead.

Use new, clean tennis balls.

The wash settings are typically located towards the right of the machine, along with the “Start” button.

Most king-size comforters can easily fit in the dryer, as long as you don’t add other items.

Use the same tennis balls you used to wash your comforter.

Using a high heat setting can damage your comforter or warp its shape.

Before you start, ensure your bathtub is clean. 1 cap full of detergent is plenty to wash your comforter.

You can swish around the water as it soaks if you’d like. If you want, you can use a soft-bristled scrub brush to scrub the comforter. This is not required, however.

If your comforter slides towards the drain, hold it toward the back of the tub with your hands.

This washes off any remaining soap from your comforter.

You can leave it in the tub and press against the comforter to remove the majority of the water, then pick up the comforter and wring it out with your hands.

If the banister is dirty, cover it with a clean sheet before laying the comforter over it. If you don’t have a clothesline or a banister available, you can drape the comforter over your stairway. If you’d like, you can flip the comforter over halfway through the drying period.
