Cleaning a duvet cover maintains a hygienic sleep environment and prolongs the life of the bedding. The process typically involves pretreating any stains, selecting the appropriate water temperature and wash cycle, and using a gentle detergent. For example, a light wash cycle with cold or lukewarm water is generally recommended for most duvet covers.
Regular cleaning removes dust mites, body oils, and other allergens, contributing to better sleep quality and overall health. Historically, duvet covers simplified the laundering of large, bulky duvets, improving hygiene practices over time. This ease of care makes them a practical and popular bedding choice.
