Maintenance

Some simple advice

By following these simple tips, you can keep your duvet and pillow looking “like new” for many years.

1. Let the duvet & pillow “breathe” – When you wake up in the morning, there is still moisture left in the duvet and pillow. Let them “steam off” before you put the bedspread on.
2. Shake & turn regularly – At least once a week, turn the duvet head to foot and always shake the duvet from different sides, allowing the filling to distribute throughout the duvet.
3. Fresh air – Air your duvet and pillow regularly – never vacuum or beat them.
4. Wash with care – Wash ONLY one duvet (140×200/220cm) or two pillows at a time. Use a washing machine with a capacity of min. 7 kg. Wash on a gentle program, with high water level and low drum rotation. Double duvets should be washed at a suitable laundry. Most of our duvets should be washed at 60ºC, but please follow the washing instructions on the product label. Always use a specialized down detergent WITHOUT enzymes. Never use fabric softener. The wrong detergent or fabric softener can ruin the down.
5. Spot clean – If your duvet or pillow needs spot cleaning, it’s best done with a sponge instead of washing it in the machine.
6. Tumble dry – Tumble dry the duvet and pillow after washing. Choose the most gentle rotation speed.
7. Dry thoroughly – Duvets and pillows with down and feathers should always be tumble dried with a couple of tennis balls directly after washing, otherwise the down will lump together and mold may form. Tumble dry at approx. 60 ºC. The drying process takes a long time, 3 to 5 hours, depending on the capacity of the tumble dryer. The duvet and pillow must be completely dry, including the fine down inside. They must not feel moist in any way – and cannot tolerate direct sunlight.
