As winter approaches, it's time to unpack your duvets, quilts, and blankets. After months in storage, they often carry a stubborn musty smell. As home cleaning experts with years of experience helping households stay fresh, we've got a simple, reliable solution: baking soda.
Just sprinkle it on, let it work its magic, and shake it off—no washing machine required for most cases.
1. Clear space to lay the duvet flat on the floor or, preferably, on your bed if the floor isn't spotless.
2. Evenly sprinkle baking soda across the entire surface. Use enough to cover everything, but don't overdo it.
3. Leave it to sit for a full day if possible, allowing the baking soda to absorb odors.
4. Shake the duvet vigorously outside or use a vacuum to remove all the baking soda.
Your duvet will emerge fresh and odor-free, ready for cozy nights. This trusted method, backed by countless satisfied users, also works wonders on sheets and duvet covers.
If the smell lingers, the duvet may need a deeper clean. Wash it following the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
