WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

All the natural duvets and pillows have been designed for domestic washing.  For best results, have your duvet laundered professionally.  Otherwise, use an industrial size washing machine with a large drum capacity (+15kgs).  Only use a ‘mild’ detergent (baby safe) .  Do not over load the wash drum as this will reduce the efficiency of your wash and rinse cycles.

Water temperature of 60 degrees C will kill any unwanted bacteria that has accumulated between washes (i.e…body oils, perspiration and surface dust mites).   Use wool programme to minimize shrinkage.

DO NOT DRY CLEAN  - chemicals often associated with dry cleaning many damaged delicate down fills.  This will help to extend the natural life of your duvet

*    The duvets and pillows MUST be thoroughly dried.  Damp down and feathers can go mouldy and smell.

*    To help speed up the drying process and renew the ‘loft’ of the fill, place a couple of clean tennis balls (4-8) in the dryer.

*    To ensure that you enjoy your duvet/pillow for many years, DYKON A/S recommends:

            *    Allowing your duvet/pillow to cool before putting the bedspread on so that moisture will evaporate

            *    Shaking your duvet every day and airing it regularly

            *    Don’t beat or vacuum your duvet

            *    If your duvet/pillow needs to be washed:

            *    Use a non-biological detergent

            *    Avoid use of fabric softener

Use the washing machine: 

             *    A 7kg machine for duvets, bigger for double duvets

            *    Wash one pillow at a time 

            *    Always dry down products in the tumble dryer.   If possible, put a couple of tennis balls in too.

            *    Take the product out a couple of times during drying and shake it to make drying more effective.

            *    product must be completely dried.
