How often should I wash my comforter?

Comforter and duvet covers help to protect the interior from most dirt and soiling. You won't need to wash the comforter more than once or twice a year unless anything falls on it. The cover, on the other hand, will need to be washed every week. If you use a top sheet regularly, you could be able to stretch your comforter and wash it every two to four weeks.

If there isn't a separate cover, you'll have to wash the whole comforter every week, and anytime there are spills or stains. If your machine can't handle the weight, you'll have to wash your comforter dry-cleaning in a laundromat that has oversize bedding machines.
