FAQs
What is the main benefit of Egyptian cotton?
Egyptian cotton is prized for its extra-long staple fibres, which create a fabric that is exceptionally soft, smooth, strong, and breathable.
Is this pillowcase suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the 100% Egyptian cotton and 200 thread count make it breathable and gentle, which is often beneficial for sensitive skin.
How does the Oxford style differ from a Housewife pillowcase?
An Oxford pillowcase has a decorative border stitched around the edge, giving it a more formal and finished appearance. A Housewife pillowcase typically has an opening on one side with an inner flap to hold the pillow.
Can I use this pillowcase all year round?
Absolutely. The natural properties of Egyptian cotton allow it to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter, making it comfortable in any season.
What does a 7-year guarantee mean?
The 7-year guarantee signifies the manufacturer's confidence in the product's durability and quality. It typically covers manufacturing defects for that period.
How often should I wash my pillowcase?
It is generally recommended to wash pillowcases weekly or bi-weekly to maintain hygiene and the fabric's condition.
Will the colour 'Black' fade easily?
While black can naturally fade over time with extensive washing and exposure, following the care instructions (washing inside out, cool wash, low heat tumble dry) will help preserve the colour for longer.
Troubleshooting
Pillowcase feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a low heat setting for tumble drying and avoid over-drying. Consider adding a fabric softener during the rinse cycle for subsequent washes.
Pilling or rough texture developing
This can occur if washed at high temperatures or with abrasive materials. Adhere strictly to the recommended washing temperature (max 40°C) and avoid washing with items like jeans or towels that can cause friction.
Colour fading
Wash inside out and with similar colours. Avoid direct sunlight when drying if possible, or use a low heat tumble dry setting.
