It is advised to dry clean your duvet, if not:

Before washing your duvet, be sure to check it for any tears that may allow the down to spill out. If you find a rip, repair it before washing. Use a mild detergent. We recommend LeBlanc laundry wash, which is hypoallergenic and without dyes or perfumes.

Front Loading Machine (Preferred Method)

Before washing your duvet, be sure to check it for any tears that may allow the down to spill out. If you find a rip, repair it before washing. Use a mild detergent. We recommend Tide Free and Gentle, which is hypoallergenic and without dyes or perfumes.

​

In a Front Loading Machine (Preferred Method)

​

If you do not have one, head to a laundromat or a friend’s house. There are two reasons for this: in a top-loading machine, the duvet may get air bubbles and float to the top, preventing a thorough washing. Second, the agitator may damage your comforter.

Wash on a delicate cycle with warm or hot water. Note: Warm water will wash away allergens, but will not kill dust mites. If this is a concern for you, you can use hot water to wash your duvet – just not too often (you don’t want the outer shell to shrink)!

Run an extra rinse cycle; this will help to make sure that any residues from your detergent are rinsed out and to expel any excess water. Residues from detergents can cause deterioration to the fabric and can ‘gunk up’ the fibers in your down.

​

Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or detergents with bleach, whiteners, or alkaline detergents.

Use of a Top Loading Machine is strongly discouraged. In a top-loading machine, the duvet will float to the top and will not be washed thoroughly. Second, the agitator may damage the baffles.

DRYING

​

Make sure that your dryer can accommodate the dry size of your duvet. Dry them on the delicate cycle, low or medium heat. Because of how large comforters are, this may take several hours. Add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help fluff the comforter as it dries. In between cycles, pull out the duvet and feel it. If you find that any large clumps are forming, you can shake it or use your fingers to break up the clumps. Be sure to dry completely before use. After your duvet is cool check if you feel any damp spots (they may register as cool spots in the filling), your duvet is not dry. Using a damp duvet could lead to mildew and shorten the life of your duvet.
