Your duvet cover isn’t just there to look cute—it’s your bed’s first line of defense against spills, crumbs, and those cozy Sunday mornings when you refuse to get out of bed. Whether you’ve splurged on a fancy duvet cover or you’ve got a soft, simple one that makes you feel like you're sleeping in a cloud, keeping it looking brand new is key to maintaining that perfect bed vibe.

Ready to keep your duvet covers in tip-top shape, so they’re always Instagram-ready? Here are some fun and easy tips that will help you care for your duvet covers like a pro (because your bed deserves it)!

We know you love crawling into a bed with fresh, clean sheets. But how often should you wash your duvet cover to keep it looking fab? Think of it like your skincare routine: the more you wash, the more your duvet cover will glow.

How Often Should You Wash Your Duvet Cover?

Aim to wash it every 1-2 weeks, especially if you’re a night-sweater or a lover of midnight snacks in bed (we see you). If you don’t wash it often enough, all that sweat, skin oil, and crumbs from your late-night popcorn binge will start to add up.

Pro Tip:

• Always check the care label, babe! Some duvet covers prefer cold or warm water washes—it’s like a little TLC for your bedding.
• Turn your duvet cover inside out before washing—it keeps it looking new longer and protects any cute details (like buttons or embroidery).

As tempting as it is to use bleach to get rid of those pesky stains, don’t do it! Bleach can seriously weaken the fabric and make your duvet cover lose its softness and vibrancy.

Fabric softener? Also a no-go. It may sound counterintuitive, but it can create a residue that actually makes your duvet cover feel less soft over time. And we all know that the dreamiest beds have that soft, cloud-like feeling.

You’ve got two main choices when it comes to drying your duvet cover: the fresh-air method or the dryer hustle. Let’s break it down:

Air Drying – The Chill Way

Hanging your duvet cover on a clothesline or drying rack is the gentlest option. Plus, it gives you that “I live in a Pinterest board” aesthetic. Air drying keeps colors bright and helps prevent any shrinkage. Bonus points if you’re drying it outside in the sunshine – your duvet cover will smell like a summer breeze!

Machine Drying – Quick and Cozy

In a rush? Toss it in the dryer, but use a low heat setting to avoid any shrinking disasters. If you want it extra fluffy, throw in a couple of dryer balls to fluff it up and prevent the fabric from sticking together.

Not all duvet covers need ironing – some fabrics, like cotton and linen, may wrinkle after washing. But if you’re in the mood for a super sleek look (or if you’ve got a cute date coming over), go ahead and iron it out!

Pro Tip: Always iron your duvet cover when it’s slightly damp to make the process easier and faster. Set your iron on low heat if you’ve got delicate fabrics like silk or satin.

When you’re not using your duvet cover (like during the summer months), make sure you store it correctly. Otherwise, you could end up with faded or dusty bedding when you go to pull it out again.

Store your duvet covers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Don’t just toss them in the back of your closet – use breathable storage bags to keep them protected from dust, moisture, and (ugh) potential moths.

Pro Tip: Always make sure your duvet cover is clean and dry before storing it – no one likes to pull out musty, dirty bedding after months of storage.

If you’re looking for duvet covers that last, go for the good stuff (like Ever Lasting's duvets 😉). Fabrics like 100% cotton, linen, or high-thread-count materials are not only luxurious but also durable and easy to care for. Plus, they get softer the more you wash them—so your bed will always feel like a five-star hotel!

Your duvet cover deserves all the love and care in the world, and with these easy tips, you can keep it looking brand new for as long as possible. Regular washing, drying it the right way, and treating stains as soon as they happen will make sure your bedding stays fresh and fabulous!

And let’s be real—when your duvet cover looks good, your whole bed looks good. So, treat your duvet cover like the royalty it is and enjoy a cozy, stylish bed every night. Sweet dreams, queen! 🌟
