How Do I Take Care of a Quilt Cover?

Washing and taking care of your quilts - the right way.

Note: Always remember to check your manufacturer's instructions before starting. Quilt covers are made from different kinds of fabrics and materials that may need specific cleaning procedures.

1. Always remember to check the manufacturer's instructions on your quilt cover before cleaning it.
2. Read the label to ensure machine washing is OK, otherwise, gently hand wash or dry clean.
3. Opt for a gentle detergent that’s safe for all fabric types.
4. Most quilt covers do fine in the dryer on a low or medium setting, although you can always hang dry them if you’d prefer.
5. Based on your preference, iron out any wrinkles or crease, but check the label if your specific item can be ironed.
