I just received my comforter and the insert says it is permanently treated with an "ant-microbial finish "..what is this chemical ?

I don't know what it is but I washed mine in warm water with a cup of vinegar and hung it on the clothes line all day. It smelled much fresher so hope I got it out because we love the light weight of the comforter.

Here's a protip on cleaning the stainless steel insert. When the insert starts to get discolored just pour in some white vinegar and let sit for about 5 minutes. Rinse with water and wipe dry. Your insert should be nice and shiny again.

This particular product, duvet insert, is ideally covered by a duvet cover. It allows for you to easily change the look of your decor without buying another comforter, just buy another duvet cover and change it. So with that being said, you may not have to wash the duvet insert as much as you would a normal comforter. Hope this helps!

Its very simple. Every time you wash it make sure you dry it completely. It's happened to mine once. Just treat it like any other precious metal object. That's my baby.

I had the same problem, but I left it alone and after a couple of days the ants were gone. I wrote a negative review based on first impression, and I feel bad about that. Good luck.

I clean mine with just soap and water. Have also placed it in a lingerie bag and thrown it in with cold water laundry. I am not aware of any antimicrobial properties.

I cannot smell any chemical type odor from the blanket, unsure of the Antimicorbial treatment. It is very warm after covering with it for a few minutes

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

CV....i am so glad you asked. I had bought a cream copper cleaner especially for this sink. When i rubbed the cream on, the finish started to come off, leaving a shiny, uneven copper color in place of the beautiful patina. It was so bad, I ordered another sink (not the same one, but very similar copper with a rope design around the rim--i actually like it even more). I discarded the copper cleaner and have put the renaissance cream on the new sink to protect it. I haven't used ANYTHING to clean it, considering dawn or a mild soap. so, buyer, beware!!

May we ask what detergent you used? It sounds like the dye from a colored detergent was absorbed. We will gladly replace the pillowcase. Please email us at customerservice@fishersfinery.com

I'm not sure but before I gave it to my daughter I washed it and tasted it for myself. Doesn't seem like a harmful finish. I wasn't concerned about giving to my baby.

There was a red tag inclosed with mine. However, it appears to give just general "care tips". Says to dust regularly with a lightly moistened cloth sprayed with a fine furniture polish. I just set mine up last week and just have wiped with a damp cloth for now. I would say to be on the safe side go to their website www.coasterfurniture.com and possibly contact them.

Either throw it away or return it to bed and bath. Their return policy is awesome. It is not supposed to get mouldy as the liers say on the tv ad. I tried to spray it with bleach but wasn't successful!

I specifically ordered this to avoid any chemicals or off-gassing components. As far as I have found, it is just simply a natural latex topper, nothing added. I needed it for when I was pregnant and from day one we slept on it with great comfort and no unpleasant smell etc. We love it! As far as it being unused, I think it is now illegal to resell any bedding or mattress related products due to the bed bug scare. But this is something you'd have to check with the company. Ours was brand new and completely vacuum sealed rather impressively haha.

Same problem here - I read it is a hardwood floor cleaner buildup. I kept cleaning it more because initially I thought it was dirty. I've been using Orange Glo religiously and now I find out it leaves this nasty film. After doing some reasearch it looks like IFT (Intensive Floor Treatment) product will remove the film. I read a post saying that windex worked well too. I'm about to give windex a try before my guests arrive this weekend to what looks like a very dirty floor.

I am sorry I won't be much help - my silk comforter did not have any odor! My guess would be that the plastic bag the comforter was packed in probably held in any odors (no telling how long that comforter had been sitting in a warehouse). My suggestion - spread it outside for a day and see if Mother Nature takes care of it for you!

None you have to buy all the pillows and shams. Don't wash the comforter it will never be the same
