DOWN: care instructions
Pillows and duvets are filled with goose and duck down. To take care of the natural materials properly, it is important to remember some crucial rules.
Everyday care:
Because of the fact that down can become a bit damp after the night usage due to sweat, it can stick together. Thus, shaking and fluffing the duvet in the morning is worth remembering. It should be done gently, not rapidly. What is more, the duvets need to be aired. However, they have to be protected from the moist air and strong sun rays. In the winter time, the duvet can be placed on the radiator but only when the temperature of the radiator is similar to the body temperature.
Cleaning:
From time to time, down has to be thoroughly cleaned in order to remove sweat and any odours. Since much sweat is located in pillows, they should be cleaned at least once a year. In case of duvets, cleaning every 5 or 8 years is sufficient. Duvets can be machine washed in 60 degrees, using a mild liquid detergent. To avoid sticking down together, it is advisable to place some ping-pong balls into the tumbler. Please avoid dry cleaning as well as washing with a softener. It is necessary to use tumble dryer. After drying the product, remember about fluffing and shaking it well.
