Here are some tips to help prevent mildew growth on luxury comforter bedding set:
Allow the bedding to completely dry before putting it away or remaking the bed.
Moisture is what allows mildew to grow.
Wash bed linens frequently using hot water and a sanitizing laundry detergent.
This helps kill any existing mildew spores and prevent buildup.
Use a dehumidifier in the bedroom if the room tends to be damp.
Keeping humidity under 50% inhibits mildew growth.
Air out the comforter and bedding regularly.
Take it outdoors on sunny days or hang it over a clothes line to fully dry out.
Invest in a mattress and pillow protectors that will shield the bed from humidity and fluids that can seep into the stuffing materials.
Vacuum the comforter frequently using a brush attachment.
This removes surface mildew spores and prevents them from spreading.
Sprinkle baking soda directly on the bedding and let sit before vacuuming. Baking soda has antifungal properties.
Use an anti-microbial laundry spray containing tea tree oil or other natural ingredients that inhibit mildew. Lightly mist the comforter.
Store the comforter in a cool, dry place. Place it in a breathable bag like cotton or linen rather than plastic.
Fluff and rotate the comforter frequently to expose all sections to air.
Following proper maintenance and storage methods will help keep mildew at bay and prolong the life of luxury bedding.
