How are bedfeathers and down cleaned?

At the bedfeather cleaners´ the down and feathers are dedusted, washed and subjected to hot steam. The steam looses staining, such as for instance sweat, and disinfects the material. Moreover, disused filling material, in particular broken down and feathers are sorted out and replaced by new material.
 
You should have your pillow cleaned about every three years, duvets should be cleaned after about five or six years of use.

After washing and drying our down- and feather-filled bedding there appeared brown spots in the ticking. What could be the reason?

Bedding articles filled with down and feathers may be cleaned in the washing machine. However, the washing machine should be big enough: For large duvets a minimum capacity of 6 to 7.5 kg is necessary.
 
For the following drying process it is also important that the dryer is big enough. During the drying process down and feathers get fluffy - pillows or blankets increase considerably in volume. If the drum is too small and the bedding cannot move freely in the dryer because of its volume, the ticking lies flat against the wall of the drum.

If the drum is too small and the bedding cannot move freely in the dryer because of its volume, the ticking lies flat against the wall of the drum. By the incoming hot air the bedding articles could get singed. This causes the discoloration.
 
Commercial laundries and dry cleaners have equipment with sufficient volume. The bedding can move freely, thereby adequate ventilation and drying of the filler material are guaranteed.
