Sleep hygiene is very important, and both a clean blanket and a duvet have a big impact on it. The problem arises when we cannot, for anything in the world, stuff a large duvet cover into a small washing machine. Many people then postpone washing until later or give up on it altogether. From now on it doesn’t have to be like this. Thanks to our tricks, you can clean even a 200×200 duvet.
To begin with, it is worth considering how often you should clean the duvet. It is recommended to wash it at least twice a year. It is enough to throw a small down comforter into the washing machine, but what to do with a large one measuring 200×200?
It is best to wash a large duvet in a bathtub. To do this, first fill it with water and pour laundry detergent into it.
Then we move on to the main stage, namely put the duvet cover into the bathtub and knead it with your hands for a few minutes. Then we leave the fabric to soak for 10 minutes.
After this time, we drain the water and pour the liquid into it againthis time without detergents. It is best to repeat this action 2-3 times.
After the last release of water, knead the quilt againbut this time to remove excess liquid from it. Under no circumstances should we twist the fabric. Otherwise, we will damage its filling, which will make it lose its fluffiness.
Finally, dry the duvet cover by folding it in half and laying it flat on the dryer. We recommend turning the duvet over from time to time. It dries faster in the sun, but current conditions are not conducive to drying outdoors.
