Troubleshooting
Pillowcase appears slightly wrinkled after washing
Tumble dry on a low setting or iron on a medium heat while slightly damp. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
Embroidery threads becoming loose
Carefully snip any loose threads with sharp scissors. Avoid pulling on them, as this can affect the embroidery pattern. Ensure washing is done on a gentle cycle.
Color fading over time
Wash with similar colors and avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Washing at lower temperatures can also help preserve color vibrancy.
