Troubleshooting
Pillowcase feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and tumble drying on a low heat setting. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce the absorbency and softness of brushed cotton over time. Consider ironing on a medium heat when slightly damp to restore the nap.
Colors seem to fade.
Wash the pillowcases inside out with similar colors. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, as prolonged exposure can fade colors. Stick to the recommended washing temperature of 40°C.
Pillow doesn't fit snugly.
These are designed for standard UK pillows. If your pillow is significantly larger or smaller, it may not provide a perfect fit. Consider measuring your pillow and comparing it to the pillowcase dimensions if available.
