Airing your down duvet is an important part of its care because it helps get rid of moisture, odors and bacteria that may accumulate inside the duvet. Access to fresh air allows the down particles to regenerate and return to their original shape, which makes the duvet regain its elasticity and softness, as well as retain its thermoregulatory properties.
Here are some tips on how to air out a down duvet:
- Choose a suitable place - choose a well-ventilated place, preferably outdoors or in a well-ventilated room. Unfold the duvet - hang the duvet on unfolded bedding or on a drying rack.
- Air for at least 2-3 hours - Air the duvet for at least 2-3 hours to remove moisture and odors. Air the duvet on a warm and sunny day.
- Shake the duvet - when airing, you can shake the duvet to loosen the down and distribute it evenly.
- Repeat the process - If possible, repeat the process of airing your down comforter at least once a month to keep it fresh.
Airing your down comforter is a simple but important process that helps keep it clean and fresh. Remember to avoid airing your duvet on humid days or during rainy periods, as moisture can do more harm than good.
