“Infrequent cleaning of sheets and pillowcases allows the fluids to seep into the pillows and mattresses, and those are much more difficult to clean than tossing sheets in the washer,” she told ATTN. The general consensus is that we should all be changing our sheets – including duvet covers and pillow cases – once a week, Tierno says. How you wash your duvet will depend on the type of duvet you have and how big your washing machine is. When it comes to synthetic duvets, these are usually fine to wash at home. For larger or higher tog duvets – ie your winter ones – it’s usually recommended that they are washed in a large capacity machine.
