Check the care label: Check the care label for specific instructions before washing your Eco Rest Lyocell Kapok duvet. Wash the duvet on a wool programme not exceeding 40 degrees and on the lowest spin speed - maximum 400. Pre-treat stains: If there are stains on the duvet, pre-treat with a mild stain remover or detergent. Gently dab the stained area and allow to soak in for a few minutes before washing. Use a delicates cycle: Machine wash the quilt on a delicates cycle in cold or lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water as this can damage the fibres and cause shrinkage. Mild detergent: Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals. These can weaken the fibres and affect the integrity of the duvet. Air dry or tumble dry on a low heat: Air drying is the gentlest way to dry Lyocell Kapok duvets. Lay the duvet flat on a drying rack or outdoor clothesline, making sure it is spread out evenly to promote airflow. Alternatively, you can tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid high heat as this can damage the fibres. Fluff and turn: Once the quilt is completely dry, fluff gently to redistribute the filling. If necessary, turn the quilt regularly to maintain its loft and shape. Professional cleaning: If the quilt is heavily soiled or stained, consider professional cleaning.
