HOW TO WASH THE PILLOW IN THE WASHING MACHINE

Before you begin, take a close look at the label on the pillow to see the washing instructions and confirm that doing so is possible.

As a trick, we tell you that if it is made of feathers you should use the wool program, with detergent and fabric softener. You can also use the dryer if you have one. However, if their composition materials are synthetic, you can only wash them with a special program for these fabrics, with warm water and drying them in the sun without wringing them to remove excess water.

Here we leave you some tricks so that the result is perfect:

• Detergent: it is recommended to use a liquid soap and not powder. In this way, we avoid leaving residues inside.
• The washing machine: put some small clothes next to the pillows, so we will avoid possible damage.
• Rinse: program the rinse cycle twice in a row. Only in this way will you be sure to remove all traces of soap.
• Drying: it is essential that you dry them completely, removing all moisture. Otherwise, fungi could be generated. Air venting is the best way to dry.

Following these tips and the manufacturer's instructions are essential aspects to keep your pillow always looking new . However, we must bear in mind that the daily use of these will cause them to gradually lose their properties and firmness . This is why we recommend changing them every 1 or 2 years.
