How to Clean a Down Duvet
Your well-crafted down duvet is an investment in lasting comfort. To keep yours fresh and lofty, handle it with care and follow these expert recommendations.
Specialist Care Only
For best results, we strongly recommend professional wet washing by an establishment experienced in caring for down duvets. Expert cleaners know how to cleanse the down gently while maintaining its natural loft and resilience. Additionally many home washing machines may not fit or be suitable for a down duvet. If you must wash at home, always follow directions on the manufacturer's label, use only a front load washing machine with mild detergent, warm water and an extra rinse cycle.
Only When Needed
Clean sparingly, only when your duvet becomes soiled. Between cleanings, use a quality duvet protector and air your duvet regularly to keep it fresh and inviting.
Air to Perfection
After any cleaning, air your duvet thoroughly. Fresh air restores the natural fluff and breathability of the down, ensuring that signature weightless warmth.

Before washing, check for small tears or loose seams. Repairing them will protect the down fill during the cleaning process.

How to Dry Down Bedding
Drying is the most important step in caring for down bedding. Proper drying preserves the loft, prevents mildew, and ensures lasting luxury.
Gradual Drying
Start drying on medium heat, then finish on low. Complete dryness may require two to three cycles and patience is key to preserving your investment.
Restored Loft
Add clean dryer balls or new tennis balls to gently fluff the down and prevent clumping. Pause occasionally to shake out larger clusters for even distribution.
Final Assurance
Always check for cool or damp spots before using or storing. Down must be completely dry to maintain its natural warmth and durability.
