Duvet covers save the day

Care

  • Keeping a duvet inside a duvet cover will keep it clean and fresh.
  • Shake and fluff a duvet every morning after use.

    Laundering

  • Duvets used inside of duvet covers rarely need to be laundered. Instead, wash the duvet cover frequently instead.
  • Smaller duvets should be laundered according to manufacturer's instructions.
    *
  • Dry a duvet on gentle heat in the dryer, remove and adjust duvet so damp areas are exposed, then reinsert into the dryer for another cycle.
  • Hang a duvet out to air dry for at least 24 hours to make certain all sections are dry before replacing on the bed.
  • Very large duvets may need to laundered or dry cleaned commercially since their volume is more than most home washers can handle.
