Quilts that are used and well loved will eventually need to be washed. Most folks are afraid to wash their quilt but it’s okay to wash it with a gentle cleaner. I recommend Orvus, a ph neutral, biodegradable, bleach free, phosphate free, chorine free and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin, cleanser.
It is safe for top loaders, HE washers and hand washing. For best results, I recommend using a cold water wash on a delicate or hand washing cycle on your washer. More specific instructions can be found on the packet. I’ve successfully washed many quilts with Orvus and had no problems with Orvus Soap.
