Comforter Cleaning

Sleep soundly with fresh, clean bedding that feels as good and inviting as it smells!

A soft, fluffy comforter is the perfect way to unwind after a long day. Its warmth and coziness help you drift off into a restful sleep, but only when it’s clean and fresh. According to the Sleep Foundation, most of us sleep anywhere from 49 to 60+ hours every week. During that time your skin sheds thousands of dead cells. Added to that are dirt, sweat, and other irritants that come from food spills, pet fur, and dust mites that can quickly build up in your bedding, blanket, and down comforter, turning your haven of relaxation into a hidden source of discomfort.

McLendon Cleaners is focused on keeping your family healthy so let us restore your comforter to its cloud-like softness and freshness. Our experience in laundry and dry cleaning spans over 75 years, making us Longview's most trusted provider of high quality laundry and dry cleaning services.

Why Home Cleaning Isn’t Always the Safest and Most Effective Solution for Your Comforter and Bedding Items

Comforters are bulky and often made from delicate materials like down, wool, or silk blends, which require special care. This being said, attempting to clean them at home can quickly become more trouble than it’s worth.

Among the problems you’ll likely encounter when tackling this job without professional help are:

A neatly rolled white duvet is placed on a well-made bed in a room with wooden paneling and a nightstand.

Filling Clumps Together

Comforters, especially those with down or synthetic filling, are prone to bunching when washed improperly. Without the appropriate equipment, the filling can clump or shift to one side, making the comforter uneven and uncomfortable to use.

Damage to Delicate Fabrics

Home washing machines, especially top-loaders with agitators, can be too harsh on delicate comforter fabrics. The constant twisting and pulling can lead to tears, thinning, or even complete fabric destruction, particularly for materials like silk, down, or wool.

Inefficient Stain Removal

At home, you might not have access to the same stain removal solutions professionals use. Many stains, especially oils, wine, or food, penetrate deep into the fibers and become permanent if not treated properly. DIY methods may only clean the surface, leaving behind residue that leads to discoloration or a lingering smell over time.

Water and Moisture Are Trapped Inside

Even if you manage to wash your comforter, drying it is a whole other challenge. Without proper airflow, the inside can remain damp, leading to mildew or mold growth. This not only ruins the comforter but also poses health risks.

Color Fading and Bleeding

Home detergents, especially those not designed for delicates, can cause colors to fade or even bleed. This is especially risky for multi-colored comforters, where colors may run into each other, thereby ruining the entire comforter.

Potential for Shrinkage

Some comforter fabrics, like cotton or wool, are sensitive to heat and water. A hot wash cycle or improper drying can lead to considerable shrinkage, leaving you with an unappealing comforter that’s unfit for your bed.

How We Clean Your Comforter – The McLendon Cleaners Way

In our over 75 years of experience in this business, we've encountered every imaginable type of fabric, filling, and stain, allowing us to refine our techniques, embrace new technologies, and build a reputation for delivering exceptional care for even the most delicate comforters.

Here’s how we handle each comforter with care, from start to finish:

Step 1
We Perform An Initial Inspection

Before any cleaning begins, we thoroughly inspect your comforter for stains, tears, or other damages. This step allows us to identify specific areas that need extra attention and determine the best cleaning method for the fabric and filling type.

Step 2
Pretreatment of Stains

Once we complete the inspection, we apply eco-friendly pretreatment solutions to tackle any visible stains. Whether it’s food, sweat, or pet stains, we carefully target these problem spots to ensure they’re effectively removed during the cleaning process.

Step 3
We Use Fabric Specific Cleaning Methods

Depending on the material of your comforter – whether it’s down, cotton, wool, or synthetic – we tailor our cleaning methods to suit its fabric. This approach effectively cleans your comforter while preserving its durability and comfort factor.

Step 4
We Offer Fluff Restoration

One key aspect of our service is restoring the fluffiness of your comforter. After cleaning, we make sure the filling remains evenly distributed and the comforter retains its original volume and comfort.

Step 5
Gentle Drying

Drying is a critical part of the process. We use precise temperature controls to gently and evenly dry your comforter. This step prevents shrinkage, maintains the integrity of the filling, and ensures your comforter comes out fluffy and fresh.

Step 6
Final Quality Check

After cleaning and drying, we perform a final inspection to ensure every inch of your comforter is up to our high standards. If we spot any lingering issues, we address them before packaging the comforter for you.

Step 7
We Package Your Comforter for Easy Storage

Once your comforter passes our quality check, we carefully fold and package it to make transportation and storage convenient. This ensures it stays clean and protected until you’re ready to use it again.
