How do you wash a down duvet?

When to wash?

We recommend washing your down duvet 1–2 times a year. More frequent washing is not necessary – airing it out daily is more important. Lay the duvet by an open window for 15–30 minutes in the morning.

How to wash it properly

1. Use a large-capacity washing machine (at least 7 kg capacity)
2. Washing program: delicate or down cycle at 60 °C
3. Detergent: mild delicate or down detergent, no fabric softener
4. Maximum spin speed: 800–1000 rpm
5. Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue

Drying – the most important step

With down duvets, complete drying is crucial. Damp down can mold and smell unpleasant.

• Dryer recommended: low to medium temperature (setting 2–3)
• Add 3–4 tennis balls or dryer balls – they shake up the down and prevent clumping
• Drying time: 2–3 hours, shake out several times in between
• Only remove the duvet when it is completely dry and fluffy
• Alternatively: dry outdoors in fresh air (no direct sunlight) and shake out regularly

How do you wash a Primaloft Bio duvet?

When to wash?

You can wash Primaloft Bio duvets more frequently than down duvets – up to 4 times a year. The fibers do not absorb moisture, so they are more hygienic and less prone to odors.

How to wash it properly

• Washing machine: normal delicate cycle at 60 °C
• Detergent: normal delicate detergent, no fabric softener
• Spin speed: up to 1200 rpm
• One rinse is sufficient for Primaloft Bio

Drying

• Dryer at low to medium temperature (setting 2–3)
• Drying time: 1–2 hours – shorter than for down duvets
• Tennis balls are optional, but recommended for an even fill
• Also well suited for air drying

How do you wash a down pillow?

When to wash?

You should wash your pillow 2–4 times a year. A pillowcase protects the pillow and significantly extends the time between washes.

How to wash it properly

• Washing machine: down or delicate cycle at 60 °C
• Detergent: mild down detergent, no fabric softener
• Spin speed: max. 800 rpm
• Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue

Drying

• Dryer at low temperature with 2–3 tennis balls
• Drying time: 1.5–2 hours
• The pillow must be completely dry – press into the center and check it
• Shake out vigorously after drying

How do you wash a Primaloft Bio pillow?

• Washing machine: delicate cycle at 60 °C
• Normal delicate detergent, no fabric softener
• Dryer at low temperature, 1–1.5 hours
• Dries quickly – the shortest drying time of all our products

How do you properly store your duvet?

If you want to store your duvet seasonally:

• Dry and air out the duvet completely before storing it
• Store in a breathable fabric bag – no plastic bag
• Store in a dry, dark place – no damp basement
• Do not compress or vacuum-seal – the down needs air

General care tips

What you should do

• Air out daily – shake out the duvet in the morning and lay it by the window
• Wash the duvet cover regularly at 60 °C
• Use a pillowcase – protects the pillow and extends the time between washes
• Occasionally refresh the duvet in the dryer – even without washing

What you should avoid

Frequently asked questions

What can I do if the down clumps?
Clumps are usually caused by incomplete drying. Put the duvet in the dryer at a low temperature with 3–4 tennis balls for 30–60 minutes. The balls shake up the down and distribute it evenly.
