Duvet Covers
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 6:40 am
Has anybody else noticed how many times duvet covers are fastened and unfastened per changeover?
First, unfasten to cover duvet, then refasten. Then on laundry day, unfasten to remove from duvet. Refasten enough fasteners to prevent duvet cover from swallowing pillow cases in the washing machine. Then unfasten to iron - and some duvet covers seem to require refastening in order to fold them neatly!
And while I'm on the subject of ironing duvet covers, why is it that some of them are not made of 2 equal parts? The larger part (normally the bit you see when the duvet's on the bed) seems to wrinkle and slide away from the underneath part - so I end up opening the duvet cover and sliding it onto the ironing board and moving it round and round in order to iron all - instead of laying the cover on top of the board and ironing both layers together.
Or is it just me being cackhanded?
