I honestly have never thought about cleaning it. The cover is changed once a week so I've never thought about how minging the duvet underneath may be!
I do shove the kids' duvets in the machine though. They are still at the nappy/pull up stage so have accidents from time to time, but their wee duvets fit in no bother.
Now you've got me thinking about my minging duvet!
What do you do with yours maggie?

I can get our summer weight one in my machine, but had to use laundrette for the winter one, the cost of washing, then drying was nearly as much as buying a new one. Has anyone tried using two singles? I'm half the size of Mr M, and he hogs ours like mad,or else gets hot and gets it rumpled over me then I get too hot, I'd be interested to know if one each would work

We have a dual duvet and use the thin section in summer and the heavier one in winter. We are never cold enough for both so I tend to take which ever one I'm putting into storage to the cleaners first. It comes back folded and wrapped beautifully so I just pop it in the wardrobe just as it it. It usually costs about a tenner and cheaper than buying new.
