Keeping track of chores can be difficult, so knowing all the tips and tricks can help.
You can trust that your duvets and pillows are clean. However, removing vital bacteria and stains before bed can be difficult if you don't have a washing machine with a drum big enough to hold them.
Fear not because Queen of Clean Lynsey Crombie has the solution for you. Lynsey said, "If you're lucky enough to have a large drum washing machine, most duvets can be washed that way on the duvet program."
If you don't have the setup on your machine, the cleaning guru added, "Most dry cleaners offer a quilt cleaning service," reports the Express.
Another option is to hang the quilt on the clothesline on a sunny day, Lynsey suggests, but you'll need a sturdy clothesline.
"Leave [the duvet] outside and in the sun, the sun is a natural disinfectant so it helps kill germs and bacteria," she said.
If your comforters are stained, the expert recommends, "Apply neat hydrogen peroxide to the stain and rinse after removing the stain."
When it comes to washing your pillows, there are different options depending on the pillow type.
Lynsey said, "Only certain pillows can be soaked in the bath, certainly not feather pillows and foam pillows."
You can also put your pillows on the clothesline and let them dry in the sun for a few hours.
To freshen up and beautify your pillow, you can simply use a fabric spray before covering the pillow with a "thick quilt protector".
As with comforters, "yellow stains" on pillows can be treated "with hydrogen peroxide," Lynsey said.
The expert also recommends washing the duvet cover twice a year and the pillows two to three times a year.
Also, you should change your comforters every five years to keep them fresh.
Regarding the frequency with which you should wash the duvet cover, it is recommended to do it twice a year.
Pillows need to be replaced every two to three years. While duvets need to be replaced every five years to keep them fresh.
