Your Auping duvet has a guaranteed long life. If you give it some extra attention once in a while, you will be able to enjoy it even longer.

For instance, it is good to regularly air your duvet. Duvets, in particular those filled with down, attract moisture. Therefore, only air a duvet in the open air if there is no moisture in the air. Furthermore, duvets should not be hung in the full sun. The sun has a negative effect on the filling and can cause the ticking to discolour.

Dust is best removed using a soft brush. Never use a vacuum cleaner! It can damage the ticking and cause the filling to be sucked through the duvet ticking.

Synthetic duvets can be washed in the washing machine at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature ensures that any house dust mites that are present will be killed.

Down duvets can be washed, but only do so if it is really necessary. It is important to use a wool detergent (alkaline-free), otherwise you will damage the filling.

Your down duvet can be spun in the spin dryer without problem. It can also be safely put in the dryer at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Give it a good shake afterwards to recover the volume; your duvet will remain comfortably warm and thick. Alternatively, you can put a tennis ball in your dryer with your duvet; this will ensure that your Maestro down duvet becomes light and airy again.

Note: never bleach, iron or dry-clean your down duvet! For more detailed washing instructions, refer to the label.
