Our quilts are all 100 percent cotton or a cotton-polyester
blend, both of which are machine-washable. But since quilts are held together
with tiny quilting stitches, take extra care when washing them.
Dry-cleaning is the safest and best way to go.
Machine Washing Instructions:
Wash your quilt on a gentle cycle, using mild
detergent, and in cold water to prevent shrinkage. And if the quilt has
dark colors, it should be properly dry-cleaned to prevent the colors from
bleeding. If you have a clotheslines, use it to dry your quilt. If you
don’t, a dryer can be used, but dry your quilt on a low setting.
Quilt Maintenance:
If your quilt has accumulated lint, hair and
dust, a gentle cleaning using your vacuum can do a good job. Place a nylon
stocking over the nozzle and then gently vacuum in two directions.
Storing Your Quilt:
If you’re storing your quilt, it should be
rolled instead of folded to prevent permanent creases. Never store a quilt
in plastic. Instead, store it in a sheet or pillow case that allows air
to circulate around it, and be sure it is protected from insect damage.
