Beryl Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 I did put a single one in the washing machine once, but everything sank to the bottom . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I send mine to the dry cleaners at the end of the summer. I can't believe I'm writing about cleaning duvets on a Saturday night on a forum - when did my life take this freakish turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 [:D][:)][:D]"And a survey also revealed two-in-five Britons admitted to not washing duvets every six months", I just think this figure is too low or maybe I just know some grubby people ( me included [:$][Www]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Research comissioned by Hotpoint Aqualtis? How can a washing machine comission research?Trying to make us scared of our own skin cells...these people will drive us all crazy. Mine's new and I'm never going to wash it.[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I never wash them as they are too bigto put in the machine. Its cheaper to buy a new one rather than take them to the dry cleaners or the launderette.My cat peed on mine whilst OH was still in bed. Taking it to the Launderette was goingto cost 8.00euros, plus drying, it was the middle of winter. A new one cost 11.00euros, ok so it was on a special offer.

Meg Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 What about mattresses then..they don't get washed or hung out the window............they must be proper dirty. (Not mine of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 We have a breathable matress cover on our mattress. As for the duvet, its so hot in our bed we only use a summer weight duvet all year -easily washed and dried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oglefakes Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 This actually gets worse, as the MASSIVE increase in people travelling globally is helping to spread bed bugs, of all things.They like to get inside luggage in hotels and then you bring them home, dump your dirty washing on the floor and Bob's your uncle.
