LIGHT QUILT UNITO V. 204

The procedures for caring for down comforters and duvets are the same:

• air out the down comforter to allow evaporation of moisture absorbed during nighttime hours;
• brush especially along the seams which can collect dust normally present in domestic environments. Do not use a vacuum cleaner;
• fluff up by shaking the duvet or down comforter to maintain even distribution of the filling. Do not use carpet beaters;
• wash following the instructions on the label (see washing tips) avoiding excessive soiling of the product;
• store the down comforter at the end of the season in cotton bags or covers to protect it from dust while allowing air circulation. We advise against using plastic covers.

Down comforters and duvets can be safely washed at home in the washing machine or by using numerous specialized laundries.
It is very important to read the instructions on the label attached to each individual product.
Let’s see together how to read a label using this example:

Washing: at 40°C with neutral detergents, by hand or in washing machine. Use abundant water volume.
Rinsing: repeat several times until water runs clear. Incomplete washing and rinsing can leave stains especially on light-colored fabrics.
Bleaching: do not use chlorine-based products, as they irreversibly damage the down.
Drying: spin moderately and, if possible, tumble dry at 40°C. Do not expose the item to direct sunlight.
Ironing: depends on the fabric, but if recommended on the label, always use a warm iron.
Dry cleaning: where recommended on the label
