How exactly should I clean my down comforters and
pillows?
You should wash your
natural filled
bedding in
commercial washers,
using a mild dish
detergent to remove
oils. Avoid using
your normal
detergent or bleach,
as these cleaning
agents will leave a
residue on the down
clusters, thereby
reducing their
ability to regain
loft. It is very
important to
thoroughly dry the
bedding in low heat,
and to air dry for
some time to allow
all of the moisture
to be removed. Many
of our customers
place a tennis ball
along with the
comforters and
pillows in the
dryers - to help
fluff up the
products while in
the dryer. |

Will the fill move
around in my
comforter during use
or laundering?
No. Because our
comforters are
stitched into
multiple boxes, the
down is precluded
from migrating
throughout the
product both during
normal use, as well
as washing. This
fixed construction
comforter design
makes the product
have an even loft,
without having to be
'fluffed out' every
day by your
housekeepers. |

How do I know that
my down bedding will
not leak fill?
Anh&Em takes extra
care in the bedding
products that we
manufacture for the
hospitality
industry. All of our
sewn-through box
construction
comforters are
back-tacked, to
ensure a tighter
seem at the edges.
All of our pillows
are finished
down-proof, to
ensure that no fill
will pass through
the fabric. Although
there will always be
the occasional small
feather or down
cluster coming out…
we do everything
possible to prevent
any fill leakage. |

How long can I
expect my down
bedding to last?
Of course, the
answer to this
question depends
mostly on how well
you and your guests
treat your bedding.
We understand the
abuse that bedding
can take in the
hospitality
industry, and have
taken extra steps in
our workmanship to
help extend the
lives of the
products we make for
you. |

How can I extend the
life of my natural
fill bedding?
In addition to
proper laundering of
your down and
feather bedding, we
also recommend
covering your
bedding products
with some sort of
fabric cover.
Washing a pillow,
comforter, or
featherbed protector
is much simpler than
the bedding itself
and helps to avoid
over-laundering of
the natural fill
products. |

Do I need to offer
heavyweight down
comforters to
provide real warmth?
No. As the world's
most efficient
insulator, down will
moderate your body's
warmth even with
smaller amounts.
Both fill weight, as
well as fill quality
(fill power, specie,
etc.) affect the
insulating value of
a down product. Many
people are most
comfortable with a
year-round weight
comforter… Not too
hot, not too cool. |

What if my guest
says he/she is
allergic to down and
feathers?
Most people are not
actually allergic to
the down and
feathers; it's the
dust and other
allergens that are
left on the fill
that may cause
allergies. The
exclusive washing
and sanitizing
process eliminates
these impurities;
thereby making our
natural filled
products
hypoallergenic. In
addition, our
down-proof pillow
shells and
protectors have been
scientifically
proven to reduce the
instances of
allergies and
asthma-related
concerns. If your
guest insists that
he/she still has an
allergy, we
recommend keeping
synthetic pillows
and comforters on
hand to accommodate
them. |
