Duvet and pillow care – hand and machine wash, dry, air, fluff, store.

washing down duvets

Once you have decided to buy a duvet or pillow, you should think about the rules for caring for it. Even factory-made products from reliable manufacturers can be easily spoiled. With unreasonable care, the filler in warm duvets can turn into a shapeless mass.

How to wash a large duvet

Even the best duvets cannot be washed more than once a year. Before throwing the product into the washing machine, you need to study the tags. Bedding should not be soaked and the spin mode should not be set at high speeds. So that the fluff in the blanket does not gather into lumps, if you have tennis balls at home, you should put them in the drum of the washing machine. Suitable temperature for washing – no more than 40 ° C. Liquid powders should be used as a detergent. Avoid conditioner and bleach. All down products, whether down pillows or cloaks, are washed separately.

Hand wash duvets

If you decide to hand wash your duvet, remember that this is a very labor intensive process. In order not to spoil the product, you must strictly follow these rules:

1. Remove the filler from the pillowcase.
2. Put the down and feathers in a special canvas bag.
3. Dissolve detergent in warm water.
4. Thoroughly wash the bags of down several times, each time changing the solution to a less concentrated one.
5. Rinse the bags in clean water, changing the water until it remains clear after the procedure.

Pouched down or machine washed duvet must not be dried in direct sunlight.

Some products are labeled dry cleanable. In this case, you can not throw them into the machine or attempt to clean the blanket manually. By ignoring the icon on the label, you can ruin the bedding.

Additional care for duvets

Down can get wrinkled

Buying a duvet is only the first step on the way to a good night’s sleep. In addition to washing, the product also needs other care – airing and whipping. Pillows and duvets made of 100% goose feather or swan down are aired every month. To do this, you need to place the product in a well-ventilated area where direct sunlight does not fall, for example, on a balcony.

Air out the bedding more than once a month if the room has a high level of humidity. These measures will help prevent the smell of dampness and the formation of mold. If you ignore this type of care, you can earn an allergy or face other troubles.

It is important to beat the filling in duvets daily. Then they will always be fluffy and soft. Bedding, with proper care, will retain its properties throughout the entire operational period, which varies from 5 to 10 years.

How to store down duvets

If the room is very hot, you may not need a duvet. Then it needs to be stored away. A suitable place to place bedding is in a closet or well-ventilated pantry. Air access is a very important aspect in this case. Without it, the filler of duvets and pillows may undergo a process of decay or mold.

Down blankets must not be placed in vacuum bags, plastic bags or airtight covers. They are folded neatly, without being pressed into special covers that can be replaced with cotton fabric. Bedding can simply be wrapped in cotton and put away in the closet.

Qiaoxu Down

14 Dec 2021 06:00 AM

Guigang (China) Recently, the development of land plot B under the Qiaoxu – China Down Valley project is in full swing. Numerous heavy equipment was used to level the site for the construction of the feather-down products factory. According to the Propaganda Office of Gangnan District (Guigang City), the total land area provided by the layout plan of this facility is 69618.12 sq. m, on which it is planned to build two production workshops, occupying 40 thousand square meters. In April of this year, the facility built on plot A was put into operation, which marks a fundamental step towards the transformation and modernization of the feather and down industry in the Gannan area.

The flourishing period of the “Qiaoxu” feather-down industry in the Gannan District of Guigang City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region fell on the 80s of the last century. For more than 40 years, Qiaoxu’s feather and down industry has developed at a rapid pace, integrating high-quality down resources and relying on production segments that provide fast results with low capital investment, as well as flexible business and agricultural opportunities, laying the foundation for gaining fame ” Homeland of down in China”, “Base for high quality down production in China” and “Excellent feather-down industrial cluster in China”. Products are sold in Zhejiang, Shanghai and other regions and countries, including Japan, Korea, the United States and Europe, and the share of processing volume is 28% in China and 18% in the world.

In order to consolidate existing advantages, Qiaoxu City Government and Guangxi Qiaoxu Lotus Down Feather Group Co., Ltd. prepared to jointly launch the Qiaoxu – China Down Valley project to transform it into a new manufacturing enterprise using advanced technology to produce high value-added products through standardization, upgrading, internationalization and intellectualization. The total investment is expected to be 1.615 billion yuan, and the area planned for construction is 46.19ha. The project will be divided into three phases with a five-year construction period. To implement this project, a brand development plan is being actively pursued, under which more than 20 high-quality brands, such as Qiaoxu Down, Lotus Down Quilt and Lotus City Home Textile, are being developed. In order to implement this project, high technologies are also being introduced, including low-carbon environmental protection technology, wastewater treatment and processing, and achieving a high conversion rate of productive energy. In addition, the Yezzileaf Organic Breeding Base is being built to eliminate the peculiar smell of down products and then ensure the raw material supply of high-quality Qiaoxu down. As part of the project, a detergent-free production line and an advanced sterilization system were modernized and refined to eliminate the smell of products and improve their quality while maintaining the original ecological properties of down.
