Like any other bed linen, microfiber covers should be washable at 60°C if possible, to eliminate more heavy dirt, e.g. due to heavy night sweating. For normal dirt, on the other hand, a wash at a temperature of 40° C is usually sufficient, which is also more color-friendly for colorful bedding.
Tip: For covers that can only be washed at 40° C, aseptic cleaning is possible by adding a disinfectant or a hygienic washer to the machine.

How do I wash microfiber bedding? Here are some tips for cleaning and caring for the fine fabric:
Laundry before first covering: We recommend that you wash the microfiber covers once before first covering. Many manufacturers specify a maximum washing temperature of 30° C for the first wash. With each subsequent wash, however, the laundry should normally be washable at 40° C to 60° C.
Turn laundry to the left: This saves the colors and prevents lint from accumulating inside the covers.
Close zips or buttons: This ensures that no other clothes are collected inside the duvet cover. A large ball of laundry pieces can become so heavy that it damages the washing machine by hitting the drum.
Hang up immediately after washing: To avoid unpleasant odors, the microfiber covers should preferably not be left lying for long after washing, but should be hung immediately. In the fresh air, the laundry dries best.

The robust and durable microfiber bed linen is particularly popular with allergy-stricken people, as dust mites are killed at about 60° C washing temperature.
