Maintain your duvet cover properly
Using a cover allows you to protect your duvet from dust and stains and thus optimize its lifespan. It is essential to maintain it for several reasons and in particular for reasons of hygiene. Therefore, we recommend that you wash it regularly in order to eliminate bad odors that can permeate the fabric.
You can wash your Bonsoirs bed linen by hand or in the machine on a program adapted to the choice of material. If the material is fragile, it is recommended to wash by hand or at low temperature, such as 30°C for silk. If this is not the case, we advise you to opt for a temperature between 50 and 70°C to kill bacteria. For the drying stage, it is best to air dry your laundry, if you can, otherwise use a tumble dryer at low temperature. And now you are ready for the ironing stage ;)
