Cleaning a comforter that is too big for the washing machine

1. Preparation of the natural purifying bath:

Start by soaking your comforter in the bathtub filled with warm water.
Then add: a small cup of soda crystals, a small cup of white vinegar and a small cup of detergent or Marseille soap.
Let it act all night.
The next day, rub the stains and then rinse the comforter well.
Squeeze out the duvet with someone’s help. If the filling is facing down, avoid twisting the comforter too much.
All you have to do is hang it outside to dry naturally.
