How to Refresh your Duvet in Summer
Ah, the glorious arrival of summer!
Dryer, warmer days are the perfect season to breathe new life into your beloved St. Genève goose-down duvet. Since it is not recommended to wash your duvet very often, it is important to air it out every summer. But how can you ensure you do it right? Here is our easy guide to refreshing your duvet. It’s a breeze! #Funsummeractivity
THE WEATHER
Your best conditions would be the middle of a dry stretch, meaning sunny skies and low humidity. The air is usually humid and not as effective if it is cloudy or has rained recently. Hence, a mix of sun and shade is ideal. A nice breeze is a lucky add-on. In summary: bright, sunny, dry, and breezy is the perfect recipe for a refreshed down duvet.
HANGING INSTRUCTIONS
Once you’ve got the weather on your side, find a spot where you can gently hang or spread your duvet. A clothesline or a clean, taut rope is ideal. A drying rack, a railing, or a fence will do too. Remember to lay something under your duvet first to prevent snags or dirt on your duvet. Don’t worry if you don’t have any of these, you can also spread your duvet on a large clean surface- flipping it every few hours!
It's not ideal to wash your duvet frequently - air it out every summer! Opt for sunny, dry, and breezy weather. Hang it out for 4-5 hours so the sun can kill bacteria and germs. #Fresh
FLUFFING
Thoroughly shaking and fluffing your duvet before hanging/laying it will loosen up any accumulated dust inside. It’s recommended to give it a gentle hit with a tennis or badminton racket on a flat surface. Remember to be gentle so you don’t damage the internal structure of your duvet. #funwithduvets
AIRING
Hang/ lay your duvet out for 4-5 hours, until the area becomes shady and your duvet will be as good as new. We find the best times to be late afternoon or early evening when your duvet enjoys the perfect dry-shade combination. A little bit of sun helps to kill some bacteria and germs too!
We’re sure your duvet now feels refreshed and pampered, having experienced the summer outdoors. You’ll notice the difference right away!
