How to clean and store your down items
Washing and treating your duvet or quilt correctly is essential for preserving its softness and thermal insulation, as well as maintaining its original quality.
Our advice:
Here at Cinelli, we are ready to share some practical and useful tips with you:
Lightly brush the item to remove any accumulated dust, but never beat it.
Wash with a mild, low-foaming detergent, following the instructions on the label of the duvet or quilt.
Rinse the item until all traces of soap are removed. We recommend repeating this step 6–7 times to prevent stains forming.
Dry the item in open air, away from direct sunlight, or in a tumble dryer at a medium temperature.
Store the item in its breathable storage bag, which was provided at the time of purchase and guarantees perfect preservation during the months when it is not in use.
Â
If, on the other hand, you prefer professional cleaning, your trusted laundry service is always the best solution.
Alternatively, you can use the Cinelli Washing Service. Simply take the duvet to the retailer where you purchased it and request the service. We will collect the item from the store, clean and sanitise it, then return it, so you can conveniently pick it up from the store. The cost of the service is in line with normal market prices for washing, and you can request it directly at the point of sale.

Care and Maintenance
Tips for enjoying a perfect product
A Cinelli duvet insert is not just a simple purchase: it’s a long-term investment in your wellbeing and that of your family. It will stay with you for years, continuing to provide maximum comfort, absolute hygiene and the right warmth for your body giving you moments of pure pleasure and quality comfort. A quality that will remain unchanged over time: just follow a few easy-care instructions for maintenance.
Washing
Down is not affected by high temperatures, but it is affected by bleach.
To protect fabrics, washing in water and soap at 30–40°C is recommended.
For dry cleaning, consult the instructions on the label first.
Rinsing
Rinsing must be very thorough and repeated several times to remove all traces of soap and prevent halos on the fabric.
Drying
Open air drying is ideal, away from direct sunlight. Tumble drying is permitted at medium temperatures.
Storage
During the winter period, airing the duvet for a short time helps maintain it in good condition. When not in use, store in a dry place inside its original bag. Make sure the duvet is completely dry and not damp.
Are you sensitive to house dust?
NOMITE® certification
Our goose‑down products are ideal for those who are sensitive to house dust.
The washing and sterilisation processes applied to down and feathers comply with EN12935 hygiene and cleanliness requirements and ensure that the material is sanitised and sterilised before it is used in our products.
Mite proliferation is prevented by using downproof fabrics with a very tight weave, which limits dust penetration and effectively precludes the formation of an environment suitable for mite proliferation.
These are two of the key requirements for obtaining NOMITE® certification.

Traceability and Animal Welfare
Cinelli goose down is certified and fully traceable - a true jewel of lightness, designed to deliver wellbeing.
We have always been committed to carefully selecting and monitoring our suppliers, sourcing down and feathers exclusively from carefully chosen European farms that do not practise live-plucking or any other procedures that may cause unnecessary suffering to geese. All animals are guaranteed a good quality of life, raised outdoors, and none of our feathers are taken from live geese, as certified by the traceability protocols we adhere to for feather sourcing.
