Stripping your comforter is a laundry soaking method that removes grime, body oils, and lotions more effectively than a washing machine or dry cleaner. This method ensures your comforter is cleaned thoroughly and should be done 2-3 times a year.
1: Fill the bathtub with the hottest water possible.
2: Dissolve the stripping mix in the hot tub water: ¼ cup baking soda, ¼ cup borax, and 2 cups of liquid laundry detergent or ½ cup of powder laundry detergent.
3: Add the comforter and submerge it.
4: Soak for 2-24 hours, stirring occasionally.
5: Drain the tub and squeeze out the excess water from the comforter.
6: Immediately following stripping, wash the comforter on a gentle cycle without detergent.
7: Dry without dryer sheets. Use tennis or dryer balls instead to fluff up your comforter.
