Wool is naturally resistant to dust mites and micro bacteria, which makes it more hygienic than the filling in many other pillows. Please note that our care instructions for our wool pillows vary, depending on which pillow you have. We have provided details below:
Original Wool Pillow, Wool Cushion Pads (and Little Lana Junior Pillow)
This pillow is filled with hand fluffed, loose wool inside a zipped 100% cotton casing. We recommend regular airing, which can be done outside (if the weather is dry) or on a clothes airer near an open window, allowing the air to get right around the pillow. This helps to keep the wool nice and fresh.
If a more thorough clean is required, please remove the fluffed wool (using the zip in the casing) and air the wool separately.
The casing can be washed on a cool cotton wash, using a suitable detergent. The casing can be tumble dried or air dried. We do not recommend dry cleaning this pillow as this process uses chemicals.
Quilted Adjustable Pillow
This pillow is filled with hand fluffed, loose wool inside a zipped quilted 100% cotton casing that has a layer of wool inside. We recommend regular airing, which can be done outside (if the weather is dry) or on a clothes airer near an open window, allowing the air to get right around the pillow. This helps to keep the wool fresh.
If a more thorough clean is required, please remove the fluffed wool from inside the casing using the zip and air the wool separately.
The quilted casing can be washed on a 30 degrees wool cycle, using a detergent specifically created for wool. A gentle spin to remove excess water and then remove immediately from the machine, reshape and air dry. Do not tumble dry. We do not recommend dry cleaning as this process uses chemicals.
Folding Pillow (and Little Lana 2-Fold Pillow)
This pillow is filled with layers of wool in a sealed 100% cotton casing. We recommend regular airing and this is best done by unfolding the pillow. Airing can be done outside (if the weather is dry) or on a clothes airer near an open window, to allow the air to get right around the pillow.
If a deeper clean is required our folding pillow can be machine washed (unfolded) on a 30 degrees wool cycle and using a detergent specifically created for wool. A gentle spin to remove excess water before removing immediately from the machine, reshape and air dry thoroughly. Do not tumble dry. We do not recommend dry cleaning as this process uses chemicals.
Heart Shaped Comfort Cushion
This pillow is filled with hand fluffed loose wool. We recommend regular airing and this will help to keep the wool fresh. If a deeper clean is required, the pillow can be washed on a 30 degrees wool wash and using a detergent specifically created for wool. A gentle spin cycle to remove excess water and then take immediately out of the machine, reshape and air dry. During the air drying process, we recommend that you very gently 'tease' the wool through the casing, which will help in the re-fluffing process. Do not tumble dry. We do not recommend dry cleaning as this process uses chemicals.
