Cover
Pillows should be covered with a pillow protector in addition to
a decorative pillowcase. These protectors, often with a zipper closure,
provide you an additional layer between the pillow and a pillowcase.

Washing
Follow the washing instructions found on the packaging of your pillow.
Pillows that can be machine washed should be washed following these
steps:
- Wash with a mild detergent on a gentle setting.
- After the wash cycle is complete, rinse the pillow(s)
2 additional times (to rid the pillow of any soap that may still
be in the pillow. Then spin the pillow(s) two additional times
(to rid the pillow(s) of excess water.) Dry the pillow(s) completely
on a low heat setting. For construction pillows, you may need
to dry the pillow(s) for four to six hours. Between cycles, remove
the pillow and hand fluff. Note that pillows may still be damp
inside even when they feel dry to the touch. Any lumps or clumps
of fill indicates dampness - dry until you are sure the pillow(s)
is dry!
Storage
When pillows are not in use, store them in a breathable bag. Storing
pillows in a plastic bag will trap moisture in with the pillow,
causing the pillow to mildew or the fill to decompose.
