Spot Cleaning

For spots, you can knock the fill away from the area, and spot wash with a mild soap. Rinse the affected area thoroughly with water and dry thoroughly. Make sure the down fill is completely dry. Any clumps of down should be pulled apart and dried again. Drying can be done either outside, with a hairdryer on medium heat or in a large capacity dryer on medium heat. Never use high heat. If the spot is pet urine, take the duvet immediately to a professional cleaner.

Complete Cleaning

Only clean a duvet if it needs it ~ that is if it is soiled. A duvet can be dry-cleaned if done properly. Only use a good quality, reputable dry cleaner. You should air out a dry-cleaned duvet before use. We do not recommend non-professional laundering. It is possible to wash your bedding yourself, but doing so may jeopardize the life of your duvet. This is because home washers and dryers are too small. Also, most household washing machines have an agitator in the center, which places unnecessary stress on the duvet.

Storing a Duvet

When storing a duvet, always place the duvet in a fabric cover that can breathe. Plastic can trap moisture, and lead to mildew problems. This advice is true for any down filled product, and most natural textiles.
