Are our quilts washable?

As a matter of fact, our quilts are undoubtedly washable in a washing machine! We recommend adhering to these guidelines for best results:

• Wash in a washing machine with completely cold water on gentle cycle.
• Use mild laundry soap, such as liquid Cheer for colors (No bleach or bleach alternatives. No Woolite or fabric softener.) For the initial washing, add 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt in addition to the laundry detergent. This home remedy avoids hemorrhage and aids with protecting the colors in your quilt.
• Remove quilt immediately after the washing machine stops to reduce wrinkles as well as color-bleeding.
• Never ever place a quilt in the dryer! Line dry on a breezy day.
• Quilts can be dry-cleaned at your own risk, but we definitely advise washing.
