Care and Storage of Quilts

• Never place quilts in rooms that receive a lot of sun or have extreme temperatures or humidity.  Quilts should be kept at normal room temperature.

• Quilts should not come in direct contact with wood or brown stains could appear.  Wrap quilts in acid-free paper to store or line a shelf or armoire with paper first.

• Rotate and refold quilts often.  Every three to six months quilts should be changed to a new position to avoid damage at the crease.  Air quilts every few months to remove musty smell.

• Quilts should be cleaned periodically to remove dust, hair, and pollen.  Use your vacuum's upholstery attachment covered with a nylon or cheesecloth to protect the quilt fibers.
