Do you need to wash a wool duvet?

When you first buy it… there’s no need!

Have you just bought a washable wool duvet? Getting used to the naturally soft and heat-regulating qualities of the wool? If you’ve only just started using it, there’s really no need to wash it just yet.

The wool that we use to make our super-soft duvets has already been treated with a biodegradable cleaning detergent before it reaches you.

That makes our washable duvets easy to care for as the wool does all the work for you.

So there really is no need for washing a wool duvet just yet. If you want to freshen it up a little, simply hang it outside to air – it really is that easy to keep fresh and clean.
