Tips and Tricks for Duvet Cover Care

A duvet cover is a double-duty bedding piece that keeps your comforter protected while brightening your space. But, your duvet cover needs to be laundered regularly to stay fresh and clean. Explore this guide for information on how to wash duvet covers, including tips for fewer wrinkles and better longevity. 

While you should refer to manufacturer instructions prior to machine-washing yours, most duvet covers can be washed in the machine. First, determine which detergents and stain treatments are safe for use: while a gentle detergent and non-chlorine bleach may be fine, it’s always best to follow the care instructions that came with your bedding.

Don’t skip the sort step when washing your bedding—you should launder your duvet with other bedding items of similar colors. Ensure there is enough space in the washing machine for your duvet cover to move around, but not too much space, as the bed linens need to rub together during the wash cycle to get clean.
