Washing a 100% silk duvet
Comments (19)bigdoglover, Yes, the Wascomat is a big front load machine at the laundromat. The one I choose is the largest available. I put one king sized silk filled comforter in it and there is still lots of room for more. This way, I feel, it has plenty of room to wash and is gentle on the item. I watch the entire wash cycle, and am very happy with the results. The perma press cycle doesn't spin as fast IMO so it's easier on the silk fiber IMO. Even though mine don't get dirt spots on them, I still feel they get dirty from night after night of being in contact with my skin and dust mites etc... Know what I mean?? Maybe I'm different, but I like to wash pillows for that reason too and quite often to be honest. The lady who washed her silk coverlet used a traditional TL! It's still soft and silky which surprised me, not bunched up one bit! I will ask her again about how she cared for it, in case she had more to add! =) Good luck!...See MoreSlightly OT: How often do you wash sheets?
Comments (82)I'm an infrequent visitor to this board after my project was mostly completed over a year ago, but I do love lurking and looking at pics of gorgeous homes, etc. Anyway, this was a very interesting read with my morning tea. I had no idea! My sheets are washed weekly (though the exact day may vary). They are washed and immediately go back on the bed (king-size--HATE to fold). I wash the mattress pad when I think of it (it's so thick, it has to go to a laundromat, so it's not often) and the duvet cover gets washed 2x year. Luckily our ancient kitty no longer chooses to sleep with us (the bed it too high up for her--she's 20). My mom (very "old-school"--born 1919) would never have washed any more often and was sometimes known to switch the sheets around from top to bottom. She rarely washed blankets and never (that I know of) washed quilts--she aired them out. All of us kids survived quite healthfully. My MIL was worse about cleanliness (and even I cringe) and none of her children were ever sick or had allergies, etc. I think that keeping things overly clean is a detriment to our immune system. Humans spent many more years barely bathing, etc., and only in the last half-century has regular washing of any kind been less of a chore. Maybe ignorance IS bliss? When I was a kid, I'd never heard of dust mites, so I didn't fear them. Oh, and I laughed about the towel on the bed thing, Sherrmann.....I've been known to grab one too, especially when the sheets are fresh clean! Now if I had a live-in maid? Oh, how lovely to have fresh bedding each night......but it ain't ever gonna happen with me having to do it :-) I bet those of you that change your bedding so often also use clean towels each time you bathe?...See MorePlease help me stop the deciding on a duvet cover madness!
Comments (68)Oh my everyone. Thank you for your help, olychick, Tibbrix, aktillery, sjhockeyfan, may_flowers, joaniepoanie, and everyone else! So I bought it. It's on. Not the best pic, and no big pillows, but goes good with my clearance target performance $20 king sheets:) I also told Target I had lost my rain check and they gave me 15% off without it, so I was happy. I had a rough day with some cautious good news, so I figured I deserved it too :) So here goes......See MoreMiele washer and dryer (W 1 & T 1) capacity: king duvet!
Comments (17)Just to share. Since I purchased a Miele W1 I could no longer use the King size comforter I was using. This is what I purchased at it washes very well on Normal cycle in my W1. There is some room to give in drum. I would advise to only use water plus without max rinse level. Maybe a touch of fabric softener. https://www.wayfair.com/bed-bath/pdp/nautica-adleson-single-reversible-quilt-nal1680.html?piid=15425096...See MoreZoapBox
