Let's face it, washing bedding is a time-consuming task. And we probably don't do this often enough as it can be the longest and most complex laundry job. But if we do that, it will probably give the most satisfactory results. After you have organized your laundry room and cleaned your washing machine fresh and shiny, it is time to take the bed apart and take this heavy duvet out of the duvet cover. Here we show you how to wash a duvet, as well as some practical tips to make cleaning this bulky duvet easier.
Can you wash a duvet
Okay, just ask. You need to check the labels first. There are probably sports brands in one of the four corners of your quilt. Read and follow all special instructions, e.g. B. Water temperature, dryer temperature, etc. (If the label says "Dry clean only", the rest of the tips may not be very useful.

Use a pen or spray to remove stains before washing the bedspread. For optimal cleaning, it is important to add extra buoyancy to difficult stains. Also, be sure to look for and repair broken seams or holes before washing to prevent the fill from popping out during the cleaning process.
How often should you wash a duvet?
Household cleaning experts recommend washing the duvet two or three times a year to prevent unwanted dust and other allergens from building up in the fibers.
How to wash a bulky duvet?
Before turning on the washing machine, place the duvet on the machine to ensure that the machine leaves enough space. If the bedspread is too large or barely fitted, it can be crumpled and squeezed during the washing process to avoid proper cleaning. (If in doubt, look for a commercially available machine at your local laundry).
Follow the instructions on the quilt manufacturer's labels to select the correct water temperature and cycle settings. Unless otherwise noted on the labels, use your preferred detergent and cycle as indicated.

Can I put my duvet in the dryer?
Again, it's better to check the manufacturer's labels for maintenance instructions, especially regarding the heat levels of your dryer, but many bedspreads can easily get into the dryer. When you remove the bedspread from the washing machine, shake it to spread the displaced filling as much as possible before you start drying.
How do you prevent a duvet from becoming lumpy?
Depending on the size and type of your duvet, your chances of getting a perfectly even drying cycle are slim. However, you can take a few additional steps to ensure that your duvet stays as spongy and lump-free as possible. First set a timer every 30 minutes during the drying cycle. Stop the cycle, remove the quilt and shake it as best you can to redistribute the filling.
Dryer supports for softer duvets.
Another secret weapon: dry balls. These magical wool workers can serve as a surprisingly effective way to maintain even and deep drying. Mix them at the beginning of the cycle for optimal results. (No drying balls in hand? Tennis balls can be used instead!)
After removing it from the dryer, hang it in a warm, dry place to remove any remaining moisture before putting it back in bed or in a duvet cover.
