Benefits of professional duvet cleaning: Sustainability and comfort for your home

Do you sleep under an old duvet that no longer offers the same comfort as before? Many duvets lose their quality over time, but buying new ones isn't always the best solution. Professional duvet cleaning gives your bedding a second life – sustainable, economical, and high-quality.

The problem: When duvets get old

Duvets are everyday companions that show signs of wear over time. Common problems include:

• Loss of fluffiness: Down and feathers break or clump together.
• Lack of hygiene: Sweat, dust and mites accumulate inside and impair sleep hygiene.
• Inadequate care: Many duvets are cleaned incorrectly or not at all, which shortens their lifespan.

For many people the question arises: Is it even worth cleaning the ceiling, or is buying a new one the better choice?

The solution: Professional cleaning instead of buying new

Professional cleaning is the optimal solution if:

• The filling is of high quality: Especially with down and feather duvets, the filling can be almost completely preserved through cleaning.
• Sustainability is important: Instead of throwing away old blankets, they can be refurbished with minimal effort and made like new.
• Hygiene is an issue: deep cleaning removes mites, dust and sweat residue.

What is the difference between professional cleaning and complete car washing?

• Careful handling of the filling: Down and feathers are cleaned separately, whereas complete washing often causes serious damage.
• Individual adjustment: If necessary, the filling is supplemented or replaced.
• Longer lifespan: Professionally cleaned duvets often last for decades.

Frequently asked questions about professional duvet cleaning

When is cleaning worthwhile?

• Cleaning down and feather bedding is usually worthwhile, as the filling can often be reprocessed and reused. The exact condition of the bedding is determined during inspection.

How often should I have my duvet cleaned?

• Pillows: Every 2 years
• Covers: Every 3 years

How much does cleaning cost?

• The cleaning costs for a down duvet are €25. Lining and refilling may be charged additionally depending on the condition and needs.

Can I have any duvet cleaned?

• Bedding with down and feather fillings is ideal. Synthetic fiber duvets, natural hair duvets, and natural fiber duvets can generally be washed as a whole. Not every down duvet can be cleaned without a new insert. However, refurbishing with a new insert is worthwhile in most cases, as the valuable down filling can be reused.

Why shouldn't I wash bedding with feather/down filling myself?

• Even if the label on your down comforter states that it's washable (with or without special down detergent), this is strongly discouraged. Washing often leads to severe damage to the down. In extreme cases, it can even damage your washing machine.
• Light summer down duvets (filling weight ~ 200 g) can be washed in the washing machine at your own risk, but here too there is a risk that the natural wax layer of the down will be destroyed and the down will stick together.
• The popular "tennis ball trick" (putting several tennis balls into the machine along with the blanket) is supposed to reduce clumping. However, the more filling the blanket contains, the higher the risk of damp clumps forming and permanently compromising the blanket's insulating properties.
