Washing your washable duvet and cover-in-1 is an important aspect of maintaining a clean and healthy sleeping environment. Regularly washing your bedding not only helps remove dirt and bacteria, but also keeps your bed smelling fresh and feeling comfortable. Here are some tips you can follow to wash your bedding effectively:
1. Don't put too much laundry in your washing machine:
A washable duvet and cover-in-1 weighs about 1.5 to 2 kilos, but because of the filling it takes up more space. That is why we advise to wash a maximum of two single washable duvets or one double washable duvet at a time in a standard washing machine of +- 8 kilos.
2. Don't use too much detergent:
Follow the recommended amount of detergent. If you use too much detergent it can cause white streaks on the bedding, that would be a shame!
3. Sort the laundry:
Sort your bedding by color and fabric. Lighter colors can be mixed, while darker bedding should be washed separately to prevent color bleeding. It is also important to keep delicate fabrics separate from stronger fabrics.
4. Temperature:
Use the correct water temperature. Generally, warm water is effective at killing bacteria and allergens, but make sure you follow the recommended temperature to avoid damaging the fabric. The correct temperature can be found on the care label.
5. Drying:
The washable duvet can go in the dryer! Use a low temperature to ensure that the fabric and filling remain nice and airy. Make sure the duvet is completely dry before removing it from the dryer. You can of course also let the washable duvet and cover-in-1 dry in the open air, but it must also be completely dry.
6. Storage:
Store your clean bedding in a clean, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and ensure the storage area is well ventilated.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your bedding is not only clean, but also comfortable and durable. Taking good care of your bedding contributes to a healthy sleeping environment and extends the life of your bedding.
