Our beautiful Botanic duvets are individually handcrafted by our seamstresses, here in Devon, using a 100% plant based filling that's made with TENCEL™Lyocell fibres. These fibres are made from sustainable FSC wood sources, using an eco award-winning process.
TENCEL™Lyocell is naturally moisture wicking and that means that there is no build-up of the the humid, moist sleeping environment that dust mites love andcan get through feather, down and synthetic duvets. Having a resistance to dust mites means that a Botanic duvet is more hygienic than these other types of duvets and, as a result, don't need washing very often. It's moisture wicking properties also help with temperature regulation whilst you sleep.
Reguar airing will help to keep your Botanic duvet fresh, and this can be done whenever you change your bedlinen but at least once every few weeks. Hang the duvet up outside if the weather is dry, but if not, then over a clothes airer/top of your bedroom door or the back of a chair near an open window to allow the air to get right round your duvet.
If there is a need to wash your Botanic duvet, then here are our top Do’s and Don’ts to make sure it stays as soft and snuggly as possible:
DO use a 30 degrees delicates cycle in a large capacity machine.
DO make sure you use a delicates or non biological washing detergent.
DO use a gentle spin dry to remove any excess water.
DO remove the duvet from the machine immediately the programme has finished – don’t let it sit in the machine.
DO gently reshape your duvet.
DO air dry your duvet on a line outside or over a clothes airer inside. You can also tumble dry your Botanic duvet on a low setting.
DON’T dry clean – our duvets are 100% natural so why would you add chemicals that could leave a residue on your much-loved duvet?
DON’T use harsh detergents.
DON’T tumble dry – this will shrink (‘felt’) the wool, and this is not reversible.
As with all natural products, please avoid leaving in a damp environment and do not store away whilst damp.
