Are down-and-feather-filled duvets and pillows washable?
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. Due to their volume, down and feather duvets should better be cleaned in a commercial laundry or at bedfeather cleaners´.
Usually, duvets consisting of two or three single duvets which can be attached together are separated before they are washed. Thus, you can wash them in a standard washing machine.
Use a mild detergent (e. g. gentle detergent suitable for wool) or a special detergent for down. Do not use any optical brighteners because they might harm the filling material. Mild detergents which are suitable for wool can perfectly be used to wash down and feathers too, because they consist of the same base material: keratin.
Please, follow the temperatures and care instructions reported on the label.
It is most important to dry the bedding articles completely and thoroughly.
