[quote=Anonymous]Do you use a duvet cover? If you don't, you should! According to Martha Stewart: "Never wash your down comforter in a washing machine; it won't dry properly, and it will lose its loft -- its wonderfully light, fluffy shape. Three or four times a year, hang your comforter on a clothesline, and air it out in bright sunlight on a dry, windy day. If you do this regularly, your comforter will need to be dry-cleaned only once every seven to ten years. Keep the comforter covered with a duvet cover to protect it from the oils in your skin; these break down fabric, making it brittle and staining it yellow. Wash the duvet cover once a week. If, however, you use a flat sheet as well as a duvet cover, you won't have to wash the duvet cover quite as often. If your comforter does have a problem area, you can spot-wash it using a mild liquid detergent such as Dawn. But be sparing; if you use too much detergent, you won’t be able to get the suds out." We use a duvet cover and a flat sheet. Following the above guidelines, I change sheets once a week, and the duvet cover every 3 to 4 weeks. [/quote]
