I have a natural latex bed, &amp; natural wool winter comforter, this silk summer comforter stinks bad. Can I air it out &amp; will the smell go away?

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!

Because it is polyester and not cotton, I find that it doesn't breathe that well. I tend to push it off myself during NC summer nights because I get sweaty. However, it isn't as heavy as most comforters you'd find, and I really like it!

The instructions are to take the pillow cover off and let it air out for 2-3 days before use. We did that and the smell went away. Expose it so all you see is the foam material and let it air out.

The comforter smelled a bit "sheepy" right out of the package, but I threw it into the dryer on fluff with a rag that had a few essential oil drops (lavender and cedar) and the smell went away. I occasionally do the same thing to freshen it up a bit. I did not notice a sheep smell after I did the fluff with essential oil. I've had the comforter for a year now and still love it. I never use dryer sheets though, they coat the fibers with chemicals.

I dont know about dryer steam, but the smell goes away eventually, give it some time, besides, the pillow is made from a wool and not chemical ingredients, so no harm there.

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.

I watched one being made in china. Silk is stretched almost like a big spiderweb layer upon layer. Doesn't bunch like feathers or cotton filling. Do not wash it. Put in sun to help with odor it will have. Odor disapates. Keep a duvet cover on it. If you can budget for a pure silk duvet it is heavenly! WE WERE TOLD IN CHINA "DONT WASH." Just clean your duvet cover.

The down has not come out of my comforter at all, but I have not washed it and don't plan to. When it needs it, I will have it cleaned. But the cover fabric is a tight weave and I can't imagine anything coming through. I love this comforter, but is very warm so I only use it during the coldest months of the winter.

To be honest my comforter did not have an odor. Based on the reviews I thought it would so I aired it out for a few hours even though I could not detect any smell. Never had a problem and really like this comforter.

I didn't have this problem. I aired it out as directed and though the scent was strong at first it disipated rather quickly. Consider a strong plastic mattress cover, it may contain whatever scent is still lingering. Best of luck.

Hi Mirrra, it is just the natural odour of new wool. I recognize it because we always had 100% wool carpet at home. I find the smell quite soporific, but unfortunately it disappears after about a week. I have answered this question a lot of times for amazon. It is very hard to describe a smell, hay stored in a barn probably comes closest, it is definitely 100% natural.

It didn't seem to have any offensive odor, just the usual "new smell" you get when you first buy/open bedding. It was gone quickly and I am very sensitive so I would have noticed . Hope if you buy one it will be the same .

According to Marrikas the tag says "dry clean." However, they also said that both the cover and the fill can withstand water. My interpretation from their response is that you're on your own, but machine washing will probably be OK. I have personally machine-washed down comforters in the past. Assuming there is nothing unique about this one, it should be OK. (Cold water, gentle cycle, low heat dryer.)

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odorproblem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

Hi, I had 2 comforters for a year by now, and ordered another one recently. None of them got any problems with wool.

Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package. I did not find any offensive smell, really, but go ahead and inflate it, and let it air for an hour or so, outside if you must.....I just found that mine had a new product, clean smell. So hope that helps. Any chemical smell will subside shortly, in my experience, and it's not even that "bad". I have purchased several of INTEX's mattresses and have been delighted with the products. Best of luck, and enjoy your very well made mattress. kk voicebender.com Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package.

Yes it can be dry cleaned. Please note that the Deluxe All-Silk Comforter is very high-end product and it requires careful handling. You can use dry clean but with low or warm temperature only to maintain the smoothness of the silk surface and the softness of the inside silk filling.
