Freshen your comforter with baking soda.

Comforters add a design element to the bedroom plus warmth to the bed while sleeping. The problem is these comforters are large and fluffy, often taking up your entire washing machine if it fits inside of the unit at all. Short of having the comforter taken to the laundromat or dry cleaners, there are several things you can do to freshen the comforter without washing it.
