We recommend that your down duvets be professionally laundered.  Professionals are accustomed to the process needed for the best outcome.  If home laundering is preferred, we recommend the following:

• Inspect the item prior to washing to ensure no fabric tears or seam openings are apparent.
• Use a high-capacity residential or commercial washing machine that can adequately accommodate the size of the item.
• Wash with cool-to-warm water using a gentle detergent and the delicate cycle. Do not use fabric softener.
• A second rinse is strongly recommended to remove any residual detergent.
• Dry on medium heat setting.  Adding several clean tennis balls will alleviate any clumping and shorten drying time.
• Run it through several (3-4) drying cycles to be sure it is completely dry.  Even when the cotton shell feels dry, the down clusters inside may not be.
• If the comforter has an odor or is lumpy, it was not dried completely.
