Washing

The reason why for instance pillows develop an unpleasant smell after they have been washed and dried, might be that the down and feathers have not been dried completely. In this case it is advisable to wash them again and dry them thoroughly until they are completely dry.
 

No. Top-quality down- and- feather-filled duvets and pillows have been processed in such a manner that they can be used immediately. The DAUNASAN^® / DOWNAFRESH^®, brand documents that the filling has been processed with respect to hygienic aspects. The NOMITE brand proves that the product is suitable for persons suffering from an allergy to house-dust-mites.
 

Bedding products for house-dust-mite-allergy sufferers should be washable at not less than 60°C (follow care instructions on the label). Allergens are removed during each washing cycle. To remove the mites, however, temperatures of at least 60°C are necessary.

The Association of German Allergists (ÄDA) recommends to these patients to regularly wash their duvets, bed linen etc. at at least 60°C.

In general it is advised to follow the temperatures indicated on the label. When washing the bedding products do not exceed the temperatures reported on the label. Some down- and -feather- filled duvets are washable at 40^o C, others can be washed at 60^o C.

Following the care instructions, down-and-feather-filled duvets can be washed at the temperatures indicated on the label using a mild detergent. Please, dry completely, best tumble-dry. In any case, follow the instructions on the label.

Pillows can even be washed in a standard washing machine (standard washing machine: load between 6-8 kg) at up to 60 ^oC using a mild detergent (following the care instructions.) Please, dry completely, best tumble-dry.
