Care for a Duvet:
Shake and fluff a duvet every morning after use. This will help to keep the feathers or other fill evenly distributed.
If you keep a duvet cover on the duvet, you'll rarely need clean it.
It's usually recommended that when necessary, you wash your duvet in a large, commercial washing machine. Chemicals in dry cleaning 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.
