Learn the secrets to washing your bulky doonas without damaging your home machine.
Washing a doona can be tricky because it absorbs a lot of water and becomes heavy. At home, always check your care label first and only use a machine with enough drum capacity so the doona can move freely.
Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid overloading your machine. If your doona is king size, feather-filled, or heavily soiled, a large-capacity laundromat washer is usually the safer option.
Drying is just as important as washing. Dry on low heat and pause occasionally to redistribute the filling. If you are short on time, professional wash and fold services can help protect fabric quality while saving effort.
