Lahore: (RightNow) Cleaning quilts can be challenging due to the risk of material damage during washing. Natural methods can help maintain their freshness.

Before washing a quilt, it’s essential to determine its type, as cleaning varies with different materials. Polyester and microfiber quilts can be machine washed, while silk requires dry cleaning.

To remove odors from quilts, baking soda and vinegar are effective. Wash with warm water and baking soda, and add white vinegar during rinsing.

Properly drying the quilt is crucial to prevent odors. Use a low heat setting in a dryer or air it out in the sun.

Remember to cover quilts with a duvet cover to reduce frequent washing and wash them periodically. This keeps the quilt clean and extends its usability.
