Mattresses and duvets always get a little damp; this is due to the perspiration given off during sleep. It is therefore recommended that you air your bed and duvet every day.

It is best to fold the duvet double at the foot end of the bed after getting up. The mattress and the underside of the duvet, which are in most contact with the body, can dry easily this way. Leave the bed like this for a couple of hours; it might not look so neat, but it will be nice and fresh! Auping also has a range of mattresses with built-in heating. If you turn this type of mattress onto the highest setting for a while during the day, all of the moisture will evaporate.

Regularly check the mattress for damage or wear. Immediately contact the supplier if you detect any damage. If there are stains on the mattress, you can usually simply remove them by following our instructions on how to remove spots and stains. Stand the mattress on its side when cleaning and use as little water as possible. Do not use bleach or other corrosive agents. Allow the mattress to dry thoroughly after cleaning.

The mattress is covered in ticking. Some Auping mattresses have removable ticking. This can be cleaned; it is recommended that you do this annually. Velour ticking must be dry-cleaned, knitted ticking can be washed in the washing machine.
