Duvet vs. Pillow: Cleaning and Maintenance

Pillows collect oils, hair, and dirt, making them a home for fungi and dust mites. Clean pillows every three months. If you use protective covers, wash those at least monthly.

Duvets, shielded by covers and less exposed to skin, only need washing about every six months. This keeps them fresh while maintaining quality.
