Thanks a ton! I just recently got a new puppy but I told my mom I would take care of it. The dog peed on my moms bedding and I knew my mom would get mad so she’s out of the house and I decided to watch a quick video to help me. Thanks again!

Thank I literally had NO clue on what to do and worried that the comforter would STAY unwashed ❤❤❤❤

I don't like tennis. Is basketball okay?

Really? 😲😲 shocking! Smh
Another tip, use only cold temperatures in the washer and dryer or the filling will shrink

Thank you so much for this information. My fiance said wash the ball sack stink off of it. This will help.

Im pretty sure a tennis ball in the wash doesnt help. The point of it in the dryer is it helps stop the comforter from clumping into a ball. Not only does the agitator in a washing machine stop that from happening, in your own video you can see the tennis balls arent moving, theyre just resting inside/on top the comforter.

And, as a bonus, the dog's toys get washed, too. :)

Tried to wash a comforter in my washer but it threw off the drum balancer and errored out. Will take it to the laundromat from now on

Instructions unclear
Looks like a rooster died in my washer

Delicate? Isn't that wrong? Your washer has bedding cycle for bulky bedding items like a comforter.

TERRIBLE ADVICE! The washer has a bulky setting for a reason! Not delicate, doesn’t clean well, that makes YOUR comforter gross! Follow washer directions properly

Turns out I was doing it all wrong. Washer, THEN dryer.

This video is fucked.. different washer then dryer and washing is a duvet but you put a comforter on the bed
