Duvet vs. Pillow: Washing and Upkeep Pillows can gather oils, hair, and dirt, making them a habitat for fungi and dust mites. Clean pillows every ninety days, particularly if you use protective covers, which should be washed at least monthly.

Duvets, shielded by covers and less exposed to skin, only require washing approximately every six months. This schedule maintains freshness while preserving their quality.
