How to use throw velvet pillow to make it last longer

1. Preparation Before Use

  • Carefully Unpack the Product: Gently remove the pillow cover from its packaging to avoid snagging or damaging the delicate velvet fabric.

2. Inserting the Pillow

  1. Choose the Right Size: Ensure the pillow insert is one size bigger than the cover for a snug fit.
  2. Open Carefully: Use the zipper gently to avoid breaking it.
  3. Insert Method:
    • Fold the pillow insert slightly for easier entry.
    • Adjust and fluff the corners to fill the cover evenly.

3. Placement and Styling

  1. Fluff Regularly: Velvet can look crushed if not fluffed or smoothed periodically.
  2. Pair Thoughtfully: Match velvet with complementary textures like cotton or linen for a balanced look.
  3. Rotate the Pillow: Flip and rotate it occasionally to avoid wear on one side.

4. Maintenance and Cleaning

  1. Regular Care:
    • Use a lint roller to remove dust or hair.
    • Spot clean stains immediately using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid rubbing hard to protect the fabric.
  2. Washing:
    • Wash only when necessary. Use a gentle cycle or hand wash.
    • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
  3. Drying:
    • Air dry flat to prevent distortion. Avoid direct sunlight.
    • Do not tumble dry.

5. Storage

  • Store Properly: When not in use, store pillow covers in a cool, dry place. Keep them folded or rolled to prevent creasing.
  • Protect Fabric: Use a breathable bag to protect from dust and moisture. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap humidity.

Pro Tip: For long-lasting plushness, avoid placing the pillow in high-traffic areas where it might get crushed or stained frequently.
