How to Wash a Duvet

We spend about a third of our lives sleeping under our duvets, so it’s important to keep them fresh, clean and comfortable.

​

Most of us will change our duvet covers on a regular basis, but it’s important to not forget about washing the duvet itself. These don’t need to be cleaned quite as often; every 6 months should be enough.

​

The labels on many duvets suggest getting them cleaned professionally, however you can also do it yourself. Here are some helpful tips to help you freshen up your duvet!

1: Read the care labels carefully. The wash requirements will vary depending on the filling of your duvet.
2: Use a mild detergent. Unless your duvet is badly stained, it is recommended that you use a mild detergent. If your duvet has noticeable stains, using a detergent with built-in stain remover shouldn’t do any damage to your duvet, but check the care label first
3:Drying your duvet. When it comes to drying your duvet; the quicker, the better. Leaving your duvet to line dry takes a long time and could result in your duvet growing mildew and mould, or smelling a little musty. Using a dryer is the best option, at Big Wash we have dryers with an 18kg drum that will easily accommodate your duvet.
