Question

Can I put my down comforter in the dryer after washing it?

Answer 1

Yes, just put 2-3 clean tennis balls in w/it.

Answer 2

As i have answered to another question I have two down blankets and i wash them fairly often because i have dogs that sleep on my bed. I use tennis balls in the dryer. They distribute the feathers through the blanket. Otherwise the down will collect in one corner of the blanket. This works really well the blanket comes out fluffy and soft. Also sometimes if i have to wash my tennis shoes as well i use them (after they have been washed) in the dryer instead of tennis balls killing two birds with one stone. Make sure your shoes or tennis balls are not going to break anything in your dryer. If you have a smooth dryer its no problem but if you have one that has i guess you would call them wings inside it (they help to push the clothes around) then you need to make sure they are solid and not going to get broken by the balls or shoes. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Yes.  Make sure to add a few new, clean tennis balls to the dryer to keep the comforter fluffed.
