Pillow Care Guide

Proper pillow care extends lifespan, maintains loft and support, preserves comfort, and ensures guest satisfaction. Different fill types require distinct care approaches. Always use a protective pillow cover (pillowcase) to minimise direct soiling and reduce washing frequency. Pillows should be regularly fluffed and rotated to maintain even wear and support.

Luxury Microfibre Pillows

  • Machine wash warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle.
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
  • Rinse thoroughly to remove detergent residue.
  • Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to prevent clumping.
  • Fluff regularly to maintain shape and support.
  • Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.

Classic and Premium Hungarian Goose Down Pillows

  • Goose down requires specialised care to maintain loft, support, and longevity.
  • For hospitality operations, professional cleaning is strongly recommended.
  • Home washing is possible but requires careful technique and appropriate equipment.

Professional Cleaning (Recommended) – Goose Down

  • Use professional cleaners familiar with down-specific requirements and appropriate equipment.
  • Professional cleaning helps preserve loft, comfort, and longevity.

Home Washing (If Professional Cleaning Unavailable) – Goose Down

  • Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle.
  • Use a mild detergent (avoid enzyme detergents).
  • Do not overload the machine.
  • Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
