How to Get Rid of the Dog Smell in a Comforter

You allow your dog to sleep on your bed, and over time, the dog smell gets into the comforter and will not come out with regular washing. When working with large items, it is best to use a front loader with high capacity so the comforter gets rinsed properly, dissipating any smells from animals and the cleaning process.
