Now
that 2024 is here, it’s time to give your home a good clear out and clean.
You’ve probably already thought about turning your mattress and giving your
bedding a good refresh. We’re with you in wanting everything fresh and clean for
the year ahead so we’ve decided to answer one of the questions we get the most
at this time of year...
“Can
you wash a quilt?”
The
answer is yes but only if you have one of the best quality washable quilts Australia has
to offer. We’re talking about a Halcyon Dreams doona of course! Some of our
doonas are machine washable and others are dry clean only so take some time to
check out our full selection of washable
quilts in Australia and
get in touch with us if you have any questions.
So
now that we’ve answered the burning question, let’s run through some of the
reasons why you should choose a quilt that you can wash.
Kill
Dust Mites - Yes, we hate talking about them too! Experts tell us that one
person can shed 1.5 grams of dead skin cells in just one day. That equates to
dinner for up to one million dust mites - yes, one million!! With such a steady
supply of food available, why wouldn’t dust mites call your quilt their home?
In addition to these sounding disgusting, dust mites can actually affect your
health and lead to infections like conjunctivitis. The take home lesson? Make
sure you’re not sharing your bed with these little creatures by investing in a
quilt that’s washable.
Pet
Lovers - Do you share your bed with your furry friend? If so, having a washable
quilt is essential as your little friend could be bringing unwanted visitors
from outside into your bed without you knowing it. And don’t forgot about
getting rid of those nasty pet hairs, odours and other messes that may occur.
Stain Removal - Love a glass of red in bed at the weekend? Maybe a hot coffee in the morning? A bar of choccy whilst watching Netflix on a Friday night? We all do but accidents do happen. Whether it’s chocolate, wine or coffee, it’s important to be able to remove stains from your bedding. Not only will this help from an appearance point of view, but it will also ensure your sleeping environment remains clean and hygienic.
