Duvets
A duvet is an essential part of your bedding. To preserve its loft and ensure good hygiene, we recommend airing it regularly and shaking it to distribute the filling evenly.
Care instructions depend on the composition of your duvet. Carré Blanc synthetic and duck-down models can generally be washed at 40°C. Always follow the instructions on the care label and use a sufficiently large drum.
When tumble drying is permitted, choose a moderate temperature (60°C) and add three dryer balls or tennis balls to help restore the filling’s loft. Make sure the duvet is completely dry before using it again.
Pillows
Pillows naturally accumulate moisture and dust over the course of the night. Regular care helps preserve their freshness, comfort and loft.
Care instructions vary depending on the filling. Carré Blanc synthetic and duck-down pillows can generally be washed at 40°C and tumble dried at a moderate temperature (60°C). For other fillings, always follow the instructions on the care label.
After washing, make sure your pillow is completely dry before using it again.
