How to wash a feather duvet?

Caring for your down duvet is essential to maintaining its quality, durability, and comfort. A well-maintained duvet guarantees cozy nights and a lasting investment. Discover our expert tips for effectively cleaning your down duvet while preserving its exceptional thermal properties.

Why is maintaining your feather duvet crucial?

Natural feather duvets offer unparalleled comfort thanks to their unique thermoregulation capabilities. Unlike synthetic duvets , they require specific care to maintain their loft and insulating properties. Proper washing helps:

• Eliminate dust mites and allergens
• Preserve the volume and lightness of the feather
• Maintain optimal thermal properties
• Significantly extend the life of your duvet

Essential steps for washing your feather duvet

Preparation before washing

• Check the care label : Some duvets require professional cleaning only.
• Inspect the stitching : Make sure no feathers are escaping to avoid damaging your machine
• Remove the duvet cover if using one for a separate wash

Machine wash at home

• Use a large capacity machine (minimum 8-10 kg) to allow the duvet to move freely
• Recommended temperature : 30°C maximum to preserve natural feathers
• Gentle detergent : Choose a liquid detergent without bleaching agents or fabric softeners
• Delicate cycle : Select a wool or delicate program with reduced spin

Optimal drying of your duvet

• Low heat dryer : Use a cool air or very low heat program
• Add clean tennis balls : These will help redistribute the feathers and maintain fluffiness
• Extended drying : Allow several cycles for complete and even drying
• Regular ventilation : Take the duvet out periodically to shake it out and check for moisture.

Alternatives and expert advice

If your duvet is particularly bulky or valuable, professional cleaning remains the safest solution. Specialized dry cleaners have the equipment to safely handle down duvets.

For daily care, remember to air your duvet regularly and use a quality duvet cover to protect it. A temperate duvet or a 4-season duvet with a modular system will also allow you to vary the heat intensity as needed.
