FAQs
Is the Regatta pillow machine washable?
The Regatta pillow is primarily designed as a wipe-clean product. Check the specific product label for any minor submersion allowances, but wiping is the intended maintenance method.
What does BS 7175 Source 5 mean?
It is a British Standard test that certifies the pillow is flame retardant and capable of resisting ignition from items like cigarettes and matches, essential for public sector safety.
What are the exact dimensions?
The pillow is 450mm by 700mm, which is the standard size for most commercial and residential bedding.
Can I use this for home use?
Yes, it is safe for home use, though it is specifically optimized for professional environments requiring high hygiene and fire safety.
How often should I clean the surface?
It should be cleaned between each guest turnover or as often as your facility's specific hygiene protocol dictates.
Troubleshooting
Surface feels sticky after cleaning
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth using only water to remove any residual cleaning agent film.
Pillow feels too firm
Ensure you are using a soft, high-quality pillowcase over the surface to provide a more comfortable barrier against the skin.
