Check the pillow and cover labels
Identify the cover and filling, and whether a removable cover can be washed separately. Follow any temperature, detergent, washing, drying or spot-treatment instructions. If the label is missing, check with the maker before applying water or heat.
Wash only when the maker permits it
Use the specified machine settings or hand method and avoid overloading the washer. Some foam, structured and specialty pillows may require a different care method or cannot be immersed.
Spot-clean with limited moisture
Treat a small mark only if the care instructions allow it. Blot gently with a compatible product, avoid soaking the filling and never mix cleaners or use bleach unless explicitly approved.
Dry completely before use
Follow the label for drying and reshape only if permitted. Make sure the filling is dry throughout before putting on a pillowcase or using the pillow. Persistent damp, odour or damaged filling may require replacement or specialist advice.
