Troubleshooting
Pillowcase feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes reduce the natural softness of Egyptian cotton over time. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth to release any obstruction. If the zipper is damaged, contact customer support.
Pillow does not fit snugly.
This pillowcase is designed for continental pillows (40x40 cm). If your pillow is slightly larger or smaller, it may not achieve a perfect fit. Consider checking your pillow's dimensions.
Color fades after several washes.
While the dye is colourfast, washing at higher temperatures or using harsh detergents can accelerate fading. Always adhere to the recommended 40°C wash cycle and use a mild detergent. Washing with similar colours also helps.
