The duvet is the cover used to envelope a comforter, not the comforter itself. I agree with several others, it's much easier to wash a top sheet every week and less worry about the duvet fading, as the good ones are all cotton.

Bar soap goop is less of a problem in the shower if you can fold your washcloth under the soap when finished showering. The cloth captures the goop and is pre-soaped for your next shower!

NO on hint #5--only freshly laundered items should go in a hot dryer, otherwise you are setting the dirt/oils/etc. Synthetic bed pillows are washable and usually machine dryable as well. If not, the sun does a great job of freshening.

I copy and paste those recipes I'm interested in and keep them in a folder on my desktop. It's quick and I don't have to remember where I saw the recipe.
