Troubleshooting

Pillowcase feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using the correct wash cycle (warm water) and avoid using fabric softener, which can degrade microfiber over time. Tumble dry on low heat.

Pilling or excessive lint after a few washes

Wash with similar colored items and avoid overloading the washing machine. Ensure the dryer is clean and the lint trap is clear. Consider a lower dryer heat setting.

Color fading

While the black is designed for colorfastness, washing with harsh detergents or excessive heat can lead to fading. Stick to the recommended care instructions.
