Washing and Care of Pillows

Jun 27, 2023

The feather pillow is a delicate product and, to preserve it carefully, it is important to know how to wash and store it properly.

If it does not suffer particular damage, the pillow can be safely washed once a year before being stored; frequent washing is not necessary to keep it fresh.

If you notice dust on the surface, we recommend removing it with a soft-bristled brush. We advise against beating the pillow vigorously to avoid breaking the feathers inside.

  • The recommended washing temperature is 40°; moderate temperatures help prevent damage to the outer fabric.
  • Dry cleaning at the laundry is allowed, following the washing instructions carefully.
  • Use gentle soaps and plenty of water to ensure all soap traces are removed. Avoid using chlorine-based cleaners that irreparably damage the feathers.
  • Spin dry to remove as much water as possible.
  • Tumble drying at medium/low temperatures is allowed. Dry pillows outdoors, always keeping them in the shade to prevent yellowing of the outer fabric.

Use or store the pillow only when completely dry. We recommend keeping the pillow in a dry place inside a cotton bag. Zenoni&Colombi, along with its pillows, provides a practical dustproof bag for their storage.
