How often to wash duvets and pillows

Sheets get washed every week, but the duvet and pillows underneath often get forgotten. Here is a simple routine.

01A simple routine

  • Sheets and pillowcases: every week
  • Duvet cover: every one to two weeks
  • Duvet: two or three times a year
  • Pillows: a few times a year, if the label allows
  • Mattress protector: every month or two

02Signs it is time

  • It smells stale even after airing
  • You see yellow marks on the pillow under the case
  • Someone in the house has allergies or has been ill
  • It has gone flat or lumpy

03Why big duvets are hard at home

A king-size duvet often does not fit a home machine with room to move, so it comes out patchy. It also needs to dry right through: a damp centre can start to smell. Many feather and down duvets need a careful wash and long, low drying.

04Between washes

  • Air the duvet on a sunny balcony for an hour, out of the dust
  • Shake pillows and duvets every morning to keep them full
  • Use pillow protectors under the cases

05Let us do the heavy lifting

We clean a single duvet for AED 45, a king for AED 55 and a pillow for AED 16. Bedding comes back in 48 hours.
