CARE FOR YOUR DUVET

Decorative Duvet

A bed dressed in a fluffy duvet and a beautiful duvet cover almost guarantees a good night's sleep.  I've put together ways on how to care for duvets and duvet covers to help them last.

 What is a Duvet?

·         A duvet is a type of blanket for a bed. It's made like a large bag, usually of good quality, high-thread-count cotton, filled with feathers, down, silk, wool, or polyfil(fiber). A duvet takes the place of a sheet and blanket, all in one piece.

What is a Duvet Cover?

·         A duvet cover is like a large pillow case for a duvet. The duvet fits inside the cover which buttons closed or zip closed at one end.

·         Some duvet covers are basic and plain made from fabric like a sheet. Some duvet covers are made from decorative fabrics to complete the bedroom decor.

Care for a Duvet 

·         Shake and fluff a duvet every morning after use. This will help to keep the fill evenly distributed.

·         If you keep a duvet cover on the duvet, you'll rarely need to clean it.

·         It's usually recommended that when necessary, you wash your duvet in a large, commercial washing machine. Do not dry clean as some chemicals used can break down the fibers of the fill.

·         Dry a duvet on gentle heat in the dryer. When it's partially dry, take it out, give it a good shake to break up damp clusters of filling, and finish the drying.

·         Hang a duvet out to air dry for at least 24 hours to make certain all sections are dry before replacing on the bed.

·         If you keep the duvet inside a duvet cover, it will stay clean and fresh for months.

Care for a Duvet Cover

·         Wash or clean the duvet cover like you do for the sheets. Iron and replace over the duvet.
