When did you last wash your doona? If your answer is, “I can’t remember”, you probably won’t like this next bit much: an unwashed doona can host an extremely unhygienic brew of bedmates including dust mites, allergens and sweat, making regular cleaning essential.

“Bedding is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and other types of germs due to the warm, moist environment. So ideally, you should wash your doona every three months or at the least, twice a year,” says health and wellness expert Dr Vincent Candrawinata.
