Down Pillow Care
Aurora Lilot Pillows epitomize unmatched softness, support, and luxury. Proper care is crucial to preserve their quality and comfort. Here are essential tips for caring for your pillows:
✻ ✻ ✻
Unpacking Your Pillow
Upon receiving your Lilot Down Pillow, gently remove it from its packaging to allow it to fully expand. Lightly fluff the pillow and let it breathe for a few hours.
Daily Care
Daily fluffing helps maintain even distribution of down and preserves loftiness. Simply shake or punch the pillow to redistribute down and feathers and maintain its plumpness.
Protecting Your Pillow
Utilize a pillow protector to shield against dust mites, allergens, and stains, extending the pillow’s lifespan and cleanliness.
Storing
Avoid compressing your down pillow during storage. Store it in its original packaging or a breathable pillowcase in a cool, dry place.
Washing Frequency
With a pillow protector and regular pillowcase washing, pillows typically require washing every six months to a year. Address soiling or stains promptly.
Washing
Before washing your down pillows, it's important to inspect them for any tears or rips that could cause the down to spill out. If you find any damage, either repair the pillow or place it in a pillow protector before washing. When it comes to selecting a detergent, it's best to use a mild and fragrance-free option. To ensure a thorough wash, it's recommended to use a front-loading washing machine instead of a top-loading machine. Washing two pillows at a time can also help to balance the load and provide a more effective cleaning. When choosing a washing cycle, a delicate cycle with warm water or hot water can be used. After washing, run an extra rinse and spin cycle to remove any detergent residue and excess water, which can cause deterioration to the fabric and clump the down fibers together.
Drying
Drying your pillow thoroughly is essential to prevent mildew and ensure it remains fluffy. Depending on the thickness and size of your pillow, it may take several cycles in the dryer to dry completely. However, be careful not to use high heat as it can damage the down and cause clumping. Instead, use low to medium heat and add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help fluff the pillow as it dries.
✻ ✻ ✻
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your Aurora Lilot Down Pillows remain pristine, comfortable, and luxurious for years to come.
