The storage requirements of duvet covers vary significantly in different seasons. As a natural thermal insulation material, down is hygroscopic, which means that it easily absorbs moisture from the air in a humid environment, causing the internal down to clump or mold, ultimately affecting its warmth retention and fluffiness. Therefore, seasonal storage is not only to free up space, but also to protect the quality of the down and ensure that it maintains good performance when used in the next season.
In the cold winter, duvet covers may be used frequently, but in the spring and summer seasons when the climate turns warmer, especially in summer, duvet covers are often stored. At this time, temperature and humidity control of the storage environment is particularly important.
The frequency of use also has a direct impact on the storage requirements of duvet covers. For duvet covers that are used frequently, it often means that they need to be frequently dried and cleaned, so as to maintain the fluffiness and dryness of the duvet covers. In the transition period between spring and autumn, although the temperature does not change much, the fluctuations in temperature and humidity may affect the comfort of using duvet covers, so the frequency of use in these seasons is relatively high. Each time you store it, you need to make sure that the duvet cover is completely dry to avoid moisture remaining in the down. In addition, choose a well-ventilated and dry environment when storing it to prevent mold growth.
For duvet covers that are used less frequently, such as spare or seasonal duvet covers, they need to be thoroughly cleaned and dried before storage. These duvet covers may be unused for a long time during storage, so the storage environment requirements are higher. It is recommended to seal them with dust bags or breathable storage bags to prevent dust and moisture from entering. At the same time, they should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight, so as to prevent the duvet cover from being damaged by light and temperature changes during long-term storage.
