Washing
Renew your downduvet and -pillow

We spend 1/3 of our lives in bed without thinking about the maintenance of our duvets and pillows. Every night we give off more than ½ litre liquid, some via exhalation air, but most in the form of perspiration.

Some of the perspiration is absorbed by the duvet and the pillow, which causes the down and feathers to gradually become lumpy. The duvet feels heavier and its insulating qualities are reduced.

 

No product tolerates water better than down and feathers from geese and ducks – indeed, these birds spend more time in the water than on land!

Furthermore, the duvet and pillow cases are made of 100% cotton and are washable.

 

Wash the down duvet in a 7 kg washing machine at 60°C. Spin-dry it well and tumble-dry it with a shoe or a couple of tennis balls at 80-90°C often up to 3-4 hours. Take the duvet out of the machine and shake it during the drying process. Double duvets need a washingmachine bigger than 7 kg.

 

Pillows can be washed in an ordinary 5 kg washing machine.

 

Use approx. 1/3 of the normal amount of detergent – which must be enzyme-free.
