Duvet Covers

When it comes to bedding care for beginners, establishing a regular cleaning routine for your duvet cover is the best place to start. Generally, it's recommended to wash your duvet cover every one to two weeks, depending on personal preference and lifestyle. You should prioritize this, and it's helpful to have multiple sets of sheets so you can change into a fresh set when doing laundry.

Follow the manufacturer's care instructions to ensure you're using the correct duvet cover cleaning methods. Before putting your bedding in the washing machine, pretreat any stains—read on to learn how. You can also handwash bedding, but since it's so large and easily machine-washable, it's a good idea to do so. Be sure to use a gentle, hypoallergenic detergent and wash in cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage or damage to the fabric. Dry your bedding outside (if it's warm enough!) for best results.

Proper washing and storage of duvet covers is also important. When not in use, wash and dry them, then store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew. You should replace your bedding every few years, especially if you notice it looking worn or developing holes and stubborn stains. Bamboo duvet covers get softer with each wash, making them an excellent, long-lasting choice.
