How to wash duvet covers?

Washing your duvet covers correctly is of great importance for both cleanliness and the longevity of the fabric. We recommend that you read the instructions on the label before each wash. Excessively hot water or unsuitable detergents can fade the colour of your duvet covers or damage the fabric.

Drying after washing is just as important. If possible, dry your duvet covers outdoors in the shade. If you need to dry them in the tumble dryer, choose the low heat setting. Ironing your damp duvet covers will be easier and wrinkles will be removed better. With the right care, your duvet covers can remain as beautiful and comfortable as the first day for many years.

Read the washing instructions

Each duvet cover has washing instructions on the label. The instructions are tailored to the type of fabric and colour. Important information such as washing temperature, type of detergent to be used and drying method are included here.Be sure to follow the instructions to prolong the life of your duvet covers. Symbols are often used on the labels and each symbol represents a different washing instruction. For example, the image of a washing machine in a triangle indicates that bleach can be used, while the crossed-out ironing symbol indicates that the fabric should not be ironed. Understanding the symbols will guide you when washing duvet covers. The labels also indicate the maximum washing temperature and the appropriate drying method. Paying attention to the information will prevent your duvet covers from discolouring, shrinking or deforming. Reading and following the washing instructions is the most effective way to improve the quality and lifetime of your duvet covers.

Turn inside out and close the zips

Turning duvet covers and pillowcases inside out before washing prevents abrasion of the fabric and delays colour fading. Closing zips and buttons prevents other laundry from snagging and tearing. Small precautions are critical for duvet covers. Reversing is especially important for printed or embroidered duvet covers. Zips that remain open during washing can catch on other parts of the duvet cover and cause the fabric to be pulled or punctured. Simple but effective methods are an important part of the duvet cover washing process and will significantly extend the life of your textiles.

Pre-treat stains

Check the stains before washing and pre-treat if necessary. For example, you can remove oil stains by rubbing with liquid detergent. It is effective to soak blood stains with cold water. Be careful not to damage the fabric when using stain removers. Different methods may need to be applied for each type of stain. While lemon juice can be effective for fruit stains, you can use vinegar for tea and coffee stains.For sweat stains, a mixture of baking soda and water may work. Professional stain removers can be preferred especially for stubborn stains. However, before using these products, be sure to check the washing instructions of the duvet cover set and pay attention to the sensitivity of the fabric. The sooner you intervene, the better your chances of removing the stains.

Sort by colour

It is very important to separate your duvet covers by colour. Be careful not to wash white duvet cover sets and coloured ones together. It would be good to wash the light and dark colours separately. Thus, you will avoid problems such as colour bleeding and fading. You can create colour groups as whites, light colours, mid-tones and dark colours. Washing each group separately preserves the vibrancy of the colours and makes the duvet cover washing process more effective. Especially newly purchased coloured duvet covers may discolour in the first few washes, so take care to wash them separately from the others. Separating patterned duvet covers from solid coloured ones also prevents the patterns from dispersing.

Choose the right detergent

For your duvet cover sets, choose detergents for soft and delicate laundry. Using too much detergent can damage the fabric and rinsing becomes difficult. Be careful not to overdo it when using fabric softener. Natural and environmentally friendly detergents both prolong the life of your duvet covers and protect your skin. Colour-protective detergents are especially ideal for colourful duvet cover sets. Liquid detergents dissolve more easily than powder detergents and have less risk of leaving residue on the fabric. Avoid detergents containing bleach, as these can damage the fabric fibres over time. Make sure to use the correct amount of detergent in each duvet cover washing cycle, taking into account the measurement lines in the detergent compartment of your machine.

At what temperature should the duvet cover be washed in the washing machine?

The answer to the question of how many degrees to wash duvet covers varies according to the fabric type and colour. Choosing the right temperature is critical for the cleanliness and life of your duvet covers. White duvet covers are usually washed at 60°C. At the same time, the answer to the question of which programme to wash coloured duvet covers is 30-40°C. For synthetic duvet covers, 30-40°C is also suitable. Always prioritise the instructions on the label. Duvet covers made of delicate fabrics such as silk or satin should be washed at 30°C or lower.

Although higher temperatures are more effective at killing bacteria, they can damage the fabric and cause discolouration. Therefore, if you are wondering whether the duvet cover can be washed at 60°C, check the label first. If it is not heavily soiled or stained, lower temperatures may be preferable.

When choosing a duvet cover washing cycle, pay attention not only to the temperature but also to the spin speed. For delicate fabrics, low-speed programmes should be preferred. Also, washing at very high temperatures may not always give the best results. Modern detergents can also provide effective cleaning at low temperatures.

Washing tips for white duvet covers

The answer to the question of how many degrees the white duvet cover set is washed is maximum 60°C. The temperature brightens the whites and provides a hygienic cleaning. However, if it is not very dirty, 40°C may also be sufficient. Duvet covers should not be washed at high temperatures such as 90 degrees, because high temperatures can damage the fabric.

There are other points to consider when washing your white duvet covers. For example, the use of bleach can make whites appear brighter, but overuse can damage the fibres of the fabric. Instead, you can opt for gentler alternatives such as oxygen bleach or washing soda. Also, take care to wash your white duvet covers separately from other coloured laundry. In this way, you can prevent unwanted situations such as colour bleeding.

You should also be careful about the frequency of washing. Since white duvet covers show dirt more clearly, washing them once a week may be ideal. However, if sweat stains or other dirt are visible, do not hesitate to wash more often. With regular care and the right washing techniques, you can keep your white duvet covers as clean and bright as the first day for a long time.

How should coloured duvet covers be washed?

The answer to the question of which programme to wash coloured duvet covers is usually 30-40°C. These temperatures ensure that the colours are preserved. Light colours, such as grey duvet covers, can be washed at 40°C, while dark colours can be washed at 30°C. Washing in cold water also helps to preserve colours. There are other points to consider when washing your colourful duvet covers. For example, using colour-protective detergents, washing your duvet covers upside down and using short programmes will preserve the vibrancy of the colours. Also, make sure that you wash your duvet covers with similarly coloured clothes in case of colour bleeding in the first few washes. Drying in the shade will also prevent the colours from fading. By carefully washing your colourful duvet covers in this way, you can ensure that they remain as vivid and bright as the first day for a long time.

Washing synthetic duvet covers

Duvet covers made of synthetic fabrics such as polyester should generally be washed at 30-40°C. The fabrics are more delicate and not resistant to high temperatures. To answer the question of how many cycles to wash duvet covers, low-speed programmes are recommended for synthetics. For synthetic duvet cover sets, choose a gentle wash programme and use a laundry net if possible. This prevents wear and tear on the fabric. When washing, it is important to use a mild detergent and not to add too much detergent. Synthetic duvet cover sets dry quickly, so a short drying in the dryer at low heat is sufficient. When ironing, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with the fabric. These care tips will ensure the longevity of your synthetic duvet covers.

How often to wash duvet covers?

How often you should wash your duvet covers depends on your personal habits and lifestyle. Washing once a week is ideal. This frequency may increase during the summer months. If you have allergies, you can wash every 5-6 days. Change and wash your duvet covers at least once every two weeks.

It is very important to use clean duvet covers for sleep quality and your general health. Regular washing prevents the proliferation of dust mites and bacteria. Especially if you have sensitive skin or allergic problems, it is important to wash at the appropriate temperature and frequency, paying attention to the question of how many degrees the duvet cover is washed.

Duvet cover care tips

Duvet cover care is as important as washing. Proper care prolongs the life of your duvet covers, keeps their colours vibrant and preserves the quality of the fabric. Dry your duvet covers in sunlight, but do not expose them to direct sunlight. Sunlight acts as a natural disinfectant, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colours to fade. When ironing, choose the appropriate temperature for the fabric type.Choose medium-high heat for cotton duvet covers.

Store by hanging instead of folding. This prevents creases and allows the fabric to breathe. Ventilate regularly. Airing your duvet covers outdoors once a week provides a fresh scent and prevents moisture build-up. Do not overload your washing machine. Filling the washing machine 2/3 full is ideal for duvet covers.

In addition to the tips, keep in mind the washing temperature for duvet covers and follow the label instructions. Using excessively hot water can damage the fabric. Pay attention to the amount of detergent specified in the duvet cover washing instructions. Using too much detergent can leave residue on the fabric and cause allergic reactions.

It is also a good idea to use anti-moisture packs when storing your duvet covers. This is especially important for duvet covers that will not be used for a long time. You can use colour-protective detergents, always keeping in mind the question of which programme to wash coloured duvet covers in.

By following these tips, you can keep your duvet covers looking like new for longer. By taking care of the products you choose from IKEA's wide collection of bed linen, you can keep your bedroom beautiful and comfortable for many years.
