Maybe you've experienced it: your child waking up in the middle of the night with a wet duvet, leaving the sheets soaked and dirty. While unplanned, washing the Boomba Bamboo (children's) duvet becomes a necessity. How should you go about it, and what's the best way to maintain a Boomba Bamboo duvet in the long run?

Sleep Healthy

Bamboo material is known for its moisture-regulating and comfortable properties, ensuring a good night's sleep for your little ones. The duvet keeps them warm without nights being too cold or too hot, and it eliminates bad odors. This means waking up refreshed and healthy after a night's sleep. Regularly beating out the duvet and letting it air out is usually sufficient to keep it fresh.

A Durable Wash is Sufficient

When the duvet needs washing, a short and gentle wash is more than enough. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial, so not many bacteria nest in the bedding. Washing at temperatures not exceeding 30 degrees is recommended. Air drying or using dryer balls in the dryer creates a nice, fluffy duvet.

Washing: Small Loads, Large Loads

If the duvet is too big for your washing machine, consider washing it in a bathtub. After washing, use a breathable duvet cover or storage bag for storage. This helps the duvet stay fresh longer compared to storing it loose in a cupboard or another bag.

Detergent: Powder or Liquid?

Choose a liquid and mild detergent for bamboo bedding, avoiding powder detergent. The detergent should not contain optical brighteners, enzymes, oxygen bleach, or bleach. Washing the duvet inside out ensures optimal absorption of moisture. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can disrupt moisture and heat regulation.

When to Change Duvets?

The timing of changing duvets is a personal choice. Many people opt to change their duvet in October for the winter period and again in April for a summer duvet. Participating in the duvet change helps prevent wear and tear, keeping the duvet fresh.

5 Tips for a Clean Boomba Bamboo Duvet:

1. Bamboo duvets don't need frequent washing; avoid doing it often.
2. Participate in the duvet change for freshness and longevity.
3. If using a dryer, consider using dryer balls.
4. Use a detergent without optical brighteners, enzymes, oxygen bleach, or bleach.
5. Skip fabric softener to maintain moisture and heat regulation.

Sleep tight (and clean)!
