    In addition to placing it well, another concern that the duvet cover generates is how to wash its filling. The first thing you need to consider is whether it's a down or fiber design. In the first case, many people choose to take it to the dry cleaners, although, if you have a washing machine that has a large drum, you can wash it at home. "The best thing to do is to wash it at a low temperature and with a soap for delicate clothes. It is also advisable to insert two or three tennis balls into the drum so that the filling does not clump together," advise the experts at Pikolin.

    Fiber fillings are easier to maintain and you can wash them at home. "It is advisable to wash it only to prevent it from being damaged by mixing it with other garments," says Pikolin. Look at the label for temperature and use a mild detergent and program. It is also recommended to introduce tennis balls to distribute the filling well.

    Whatever the filling of your duvet cover looks like, it should be completely dry when you put it to bed or store it to prevent mold from forming. In the event that you are going to store it, decoration expert María Sánchez Rodríguez recommends vacuum-packing it with a bar of natural soap.
