It’s the perfect time to freshen up your Baavet duvet the natural way
Posted by Sarah, Celtic Sustainables on 16th Apr 2026
With these sunny, dry days, it's a perfect chance to give your woollens a freshen-up! If you're like most of us at Celtic Sustainables, you probably have a lovely Baavet duvet and pillow. Let's talk about how sunning your Baavet wool duvets, mattress protectors and pillows can keep them in good condition and crisp.
☀️The excellent weather lately has got me thinking about hanging out my Baavet duvet! Hang it outside and let the sun work its magic.

Do I need to wash my Baavet Duvet? No, you don’t!
Baavet wool duvets rarely need washing due to their natural self-cleaning properties; airing them in the sun is the best maintenance. For stains, spot-clean gently with mild soap and water. If essential, handwash or use a delicate machine cycle with wool detergent, then air dry; never tumble dry.
Baavet Bedding is perfect for all seasons.
Maintenance & Cleaning Guide for your Baavet Duvet
Regular Care
Air the duvet outside on a sunny day. UV light kills bacteria and keeps the wool fresh, avoiding the need for washing.
Spot Cleaning
Gently spot-clean soiled areas with water and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing to protect the wool fibers.
Washing Instructions
If washing is unavoidable:
- Machine Wash: Use a delicate/wool cycle with wool-friendly detergent and cool/tepid water.
- Hand Wash: Soak in cool water, gently sponge stains, and rinse thoroughly.
Drying
Do not tumble dry as this will cause the wool to felt and shrink. Hang to dry naturally away from direct, intense heat.
Dry Cleaning
Only use "green" or eco-friendly dry cleaners if absolutely necessary.
Remember, the less you wash your wool duvet, the better it maintains it's quality.
By regularly airing out your woollen pillows and duvets in the sunlight and spot cleaning as needed, you can preserve their breathability, softness, and durability, ensuring many comfortable years of use.
★ If in doubt, please follow the care instructions, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the Celtic team for help and advice.
