Maintenance guide
Care
Our quilts are made to last. They’re designed for everyday use and become softer over time.
All fabrics are prewashed and pre-dried before assembly to help minimize shrinkage and fading. Still, it’s normal for colours to evolve over the years.
To help preserve colour vibrancy:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Store your quilt in a dry place. A cedar chest is ideal — it protects against moisture and insects, and adds a pleasant scent.
- Even better than storing it: use it! Regular use is the best way to preserve both its beauty and its purpose.
Cleaning
There’s no need to wash a quilt often. Most of the time, a good shake or a bit of spot cleaning is all it takes.
For stains:
Use a damp cloth with a bit of cold water and mild soap (traditional soaps like Marseille or “savon du pays” work very well and are all-natural).
For a full wash:
Hand-washing and air-drying are the gentlest ways to preserve fabric quality.
Machine washing is also possible — choose a delicate cycle with cold water.
After washing:
Remove as much water as possible, then lay the quilt flat on a clean surface.
Once nearly dry or well drained, you can hang it over a clothesline or a railing. Reposition it occasionally to avoid stretching or distortion.
If unsure, professional cleaning is always a safe option.
