When there is enough sunshine, you can take the duvet out for a while, but the time should not be too long.
Hang it outside in a cool, ventilated place for 2-3 days, then pat it evenly to eliminate the unpleasant odor.
Spray lemon water on the duvet and leave it out in the shade overnight to dry, this will remove the smell from the duvet. Remember, it is better to use spray, not sprinkle, and to spray evenly
The general down alternative comforter is actually made of chemical fiber. Fiber comforter is the most common comforter. It does not need special maintenance, but it is recommended to often sunbathe to achieve the effect of antibacterial and dehumidification. Water washing and machine washing are both available, and a neutral detergent or soap powder can be used to wash and dehydrate with the weak spin of the washing machine.
3、Cotton quilts

But the effect will be better in the sun because the temperature will accelerate the replacement of air in the stomata. Like the silk pillowcase, cannot be exposed to the sun.
