Do not wash it if it is a feather duvet, you would need to go to a dry cleaners for that. Usually there would be a label on the duvet saying how to wash it etc. I was my duvet around once a week or so and it almost fills up the washing machine so I put it on water lvl high and keep everything else normal. use 1 cup of powder and wash as normal. Also, do not tumble dry. Leave it out on the washing line and it will dry perfectly!Can i wash my duvet in a washing machine?
Yes you can wash a duvet in a washing machine, i would do it on a warm wash and normal level of water, and use your normal amount of soap powder, but if it is a big duvet it may not go into a normal sized machine, so you may have to take it to a laundrette to get it washed, as their machines are bigger for those sorts of things.
Put your duvet into the machine like you would any other washing, put you soap powder in the drawer as normal, and set you program onto a warm wash, if you want add a softener to the wash, then just put it over the washing line to dry, or if it is wet then out it over a clothes airier and turn it over every so often so it gets dry on both sides, hope this helps.
I would use half a cupful of washing powder. (Non Biological)
Fill up the fabric softener compartment with good quality fabric softener - I would use the concentrated.
A short cycle (40 deg) should be enough but on that cycle the spin will only be a short one. When it has run its cycle, turn the settings knob to a long spin and run that.
Put it on the line.
It needs to be done on a very warm, sunny day.
Air it after drying - flat out on top of your bed with no cover on it for as long as you can before using it. (Unless you have a dryer in which case put it in there).
Good answers, unles it's down. You will cause LOTS of clumps of the feathers if you hang it to dry.
Use one of the large laundromat dryers, and dry it on medium with a pair of clean sneakers. Dry until bone dry, or the feathers will mildew.
