"Revitalize Your Bedding: Learn how to Safely Wash Your Doona in a Washing Machine."

With the arrival of warmer weather, it's high time to retire your cozy and fleecy sheets and doona until the next winter season. Before tucking away your doona for the summer, it's wise to give it a thorough and extensive cleaning.

While there are numerous tips and tricks on how to clean a doona, did you know you can actually wash it in a washing machine? Here are five crucial tips to bear in mind when washing your doona in a washing machine:

• Scan the Cleaning Recommendations on the Tag

The tag on your doona contains essential cleaning recommendations that you must follow to the letter. Disregarding these recommendations could irreparably damage your doona. Depending on the filling material (feathers, microfibre, cotton or wool), the tag provides guidance on the best care tips for cleaning your doona.

Use the Appropriate-sized Washing Machine

A small doona could fit a standard domestic washing machine; however, you might require a commercial-grade machine to wash and rinse a large doona. Ensure that the doona, laundry soap, and water have enough space to move freely in the washing machine.

Opt for a Delicate or Gentle Cycle

Although the tag provides specific recommendations for cleaning, generally speaking, you should use gentle or delicate cycles when washing your doona in a washing machine. Using a gentle cycle lowers the risk of damaging your doona during the wash cycle.

Wash in Cool Water

Again, the tag provides specific advice on washing your doona, but cool water is often ideal when using a washing machine. You could choose to add disinfectant to eliminate any germs, but it's critical to read the tag's cleaning instructions.

Dry on a Clothesline or Use a Low Temperature Dryer

After washing your doona, hang it on a clothesline to dry. Given that doonas are usually thick and heavy, it might take a day or two to dry entirely in the sun. If the cleaning tag recommends drying your doona in a dryer, use a large-sized commercial dryer and a low temperature.
