Keep Your Comforter Clean with a Duvet Cover
Comforters are one of the most expensive pieces of bedding, so it makes sense to invest in a cover to protect them and make cleaning easier. Since comforters are big and bulky, they may not fit into the usual household washing machines. They will be cumbersome to wash by hand too. Washing them may also ruin the filling of the comforter, which can result in misshaping and bulking of the comforter. The contact with detergent soap and other chemicals may also erode the dust-repelling qualities of the fabrics and filling. Duvet covers make maintenance a breeze no matter what type of comforter. A bedspread or other blanket can be useful, but using a duvet cover is the better choice.
From twin duvet covers to king-sized options, there is a model to fit any bed. Not only will a duvet cover effectively protect the comforter but it allows affords you the opportunity to complement and enhance your bedroom décor. Because there is such a wide array of designs available, there is something for every taste and style.
Creating a Matching Bedroom Set
If you’re interested in adding a bit of style to your bedroom, consider revising your bedding and bedroom furniture to match. Though furniture is a bit more expensive to replace, it’s easy to dress up your bedding to match your furniture through use of luxury duvet covers and pillowcases. For example, you might consider bedding with more earthy tones like green, taupe, crimson, or orange for more rustic beds. If your bedroom is comprised of more contemporary metal furniture, think bold tones like blue, black, or even purple.
If you have a mix of furniture in your bedroom, you might consider updating it if that’s an affordable option, or repaint and refinish it instead. If you can’t do any of the above, use the bed as the central focus and build the theme of the room around it. Through doing this you can create a stylistic space that you will love to return to after a hard day.
Spring Cleaning
I remember away back when it came around the month of April my mom would have us all pitching in to do spring cleaning around the house.
Mom would start with the kitchen cleaning out the cupboards throwing out old products that got shove into the back. Washing down the shelves putting everything back neatly in to the freshly clean cupboards. Mom always took care of the spring cleaning around most of the house.
My sister and I had one chore to do every spring and that was to do our own bed rooms. We would dust every thing in our rooms clean out our closets. Mom had us check out our winter wardrobe pack them away and get out our spring clothes. We would be at this all day as mom would check up on us to make sure it was done right.
The best part of spring cleaning was that we got to remove the flannel sheets. Mom would get us some new fresh Egyptian cotton sheets for the summer. We would put away our heavy duvets and put a freshly wash light coverlet blanket on our beds.
Spring cleaning for kid’s can be a big chore but in the end when all is done our rooms were fresh and bright ready to enjoy the coming months of spring and summer.
Bedding for Summer
If looking for a sound sleep you need to have comfortable bedding that includes pillows, sheets, comforters, duvets, blankets and quilts. Suitable bedding for summer is cotton and silk. Cotton with a higher thread count is more soft and comfortable. Ecru cotton is a good pick for summer. With cotton bedding you have good air circulation that guarantees a comfortable sleep during hot summers. During the summer nights if the temperature should fall you can use a light fleece blanket. Cotton used in cribs is best for the summer if you have babies at home.
Silk is a great summer bedding to use in the summer to keep you cool on hot nights. Silk bedding is lightweight and has a lasting elegance that can also be used year round.
Satin is another luxurious bedding material that you can use in the summer. This type of material is very smooth and gives a cooling effect in the summer nights. Sheets, pillow covers and comforters made with satin are excellent summer bedding even for those with sensitive skin
Cotton, silk and satin bedding is easy to care for and come is many colors. This summer bedding come is floral designs as well as printed including cartoon characters and sports.
Redesigning A Room On A Dime
It’s common for people to think of redesigning rooms as translating to big expenses. But in truth, there are a lot of simple fixes that are cost effective and still provide a complete revamp to the aesthetic. For example, one way to create a new look for a bedroom is by changing the bedding. For an inexpensive method to do this, consider Egyptian cotton duvet covers and pillow covers. Purchasing reversible comforters is also a good idea for people who find themselves tired with the look of a room often. Paint is another inexpensive method to change the look of a room. In general, enough paint to cover all the walls in a standard bedroom costs about $40-60, depending on the brand. You might also consider wall art pieces, and while purchasing from an art gallery ensures higher quality, a lot of great pieces can often be found at thrift stores.
You’ll be amazed at what a redesigned room does to change your perspective on the entire space. You might find that your redesigned room becomes a home office, a den, an exercise room, an entertainment room, or a guest room with just a few simple changes.

Choosing the Right Duvet Cover
Duvets come in different sizes to accommodate the different sizes of beds. The common bed sizes are twin, full, queen and king The import ant’s of getting the right size for your bed is if its too big it make s it difficult to sleep and too small does not provide warmth for the whole body. There is not much of an issue with the depth of a duvet. If you were buying sheets its important that they will fit over the entire mattress, but each duvet usually has a similar thickness. Standard-size duvet covers fit snugly around a duvet of the corresponding size.
Twin beds are the smallest size bed available, other then children’s beds or cribs. Twin duvet covers are the smallest available. Twin-size duvet covers measure 64inches by 90 inches. Full-size is bigger then the twin but much smaller then queen or king size duvets. The measurements of a full size duvet are 86 inches by 90 inches, queen-size duvet measures 108 inches by 90 inches and the king-size duvet is the largest measuring at 102 inches by 108 inches.
Keep in mind that the lager duvet covers usually cost more then the smaller seizes, Make sure to buy the right size as people need to be fully covered when sleeping during the cold nights, so buying small duvets to save money is not a good idea.

Spring Break-Staying in Clean Hotel Rooms
Spring Break! This is a week were families, and young adults take a vacation to sunny parts of the world to relax, have fun in the warm climates away from the last parts of winter.
This might be your first time to vacation away from home or you could be a frequent traveler. When booking your hotel you will want to make sure it has good reviews. There are a number of ways to reassure yourself that you are staying in the cleanest hotel possible. Here are four things you can do to make your vacation a memorable and clean one.
#1 Be Picky: When choosing a hotel room to be clean don’t let your decision be dictated by the price: expensive does not always mean clean. You must look at the hotels reputation. Books and travel guides rate hotels on many factors, one being clean.
#2 Look Around: Just by looking at a hotel room it’s pretty easy to see if it’s clean or dirty. If your towels are dirty and the bath tub is grimy mention it to the staff. You notice that the sheets are stained, the TV stand has a large collection of dust, ask to be moved. Your not only paying for the room, you are paying for a clean one.
#3 Stay away from Rooms that Allow Smoking and Pets: Pet’s can dirty up a clean room with just there hair and muddy or wet paws. They walk on the clean carpet and jump on the beds. If someone smoked in a room the smoke linger in the air and rest on tangible items in the room leaving them discolored and fill with ash-tray like smell.
#4 Get Rid if the Spread: The bedspread on the bed! If there is one item that has not been clean in a while it’s probably the comforter when we think about it you probably don’t wash your comforter at home that often maybe waiting for spring cleaning time of the year. Many times hotel room bedspreads aren’t washed on a regular base. Sheets are washed regularly. The best thing to do is remove the comforter off the bed and leave it in a corner of the room. Hotels with duvet covers on their beds are much easier to keep clean.
With people coming and going it’s hard to keep track of all the germs. Hotels reputed for cleanliness are often reputed for a reason: they are in fact clean.
Hope your Spring Break is a happy and clean one.
