Duvet Care: How to Maintain Bedding Quality in Your Accommodation Business

In Australia’s competitive accommodation sector—whether it’s a motel in coastal Queensland, a cabin in the Blue Mountains, or a city hotel—bedding plays a major role in guest satisfaction. While sheets and pillows are often in the spotlight, it’s the quilt or duvet inside that contributes most to a great night’s sleep.

Proper care and knowing when to replace your bedding fillings not only enhances guest comfort but also protects your investment.

1. How to Care for Quilts in Commercial Accommodation

Duvets and quilts don’t need to be laundered after every guest, but they still require scheduled cleaning:

Fluff regularly to maintain shape and warmth.
Wash every 3–6 months, depending on occupancy. Always use a gentle cycle (up to 30°C) with a mild detergent in a large-capacity washer.
Tumble dry on low or line dry fully—moisture left inside can lead to mildew.
Use Covers to Extend Life
Protect your inners with durable covers that shield from stains and daily wear. For added protection and easier turnover, consider triple sheeting as an alternative to traditional duvet covers.

To keep duvet inners clean, try triple sheeting or Weavers Premium Duvet Cover.

2. When to Replace Bedding

Even the best-maintained bedding doesn’t last forever. Watch for these signs:

⏳ Over 2–3 years old in high-use settings
❌ Flat or lifeless loft that no longer provides warmth
❌ Persistent stains or odours after washing
❌Lumps or uneven fill that shift with use

3. Choosing the Right Option for Your Climate & Guests

Australia’s diverse climates mean bedding needs can vary widely. Here’s a quick guide:

• 340gsm – Ideal for most-year-round use in temperate regions
• 400gsm – Best for cooler areas or winter stays
• Feather & Down – Great for luxury accommodation targeting longer-stay or corporate guests

🔁 Quick tip: Rotate between summer-weight and winter-weight options seasonally to extend life and improve comfort.

4. How to Store Quilts Between Seasons

When not in use:
Keep in a cool, dry place, off the floor and away from pests
Store only when completely clean and dry
Use breathable cotton bags, not plastic

Conclusion

Your bedding isn’t just a comfort item—it’s a key part of your guest experience. With the right care, and by knowing when to refresh your inventory, you’ll keep your rooms guest-ready and extend the life of your investment.
