Quick Answer
Machine wash your WildBird pregnancy pillow cover on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Why Proper Care Matters
Your pregnancy pillow cover works hard—it protects the pillow from sweat, oils, and daily wear. Regular cleaning keeps it hygienic and extends its life. The full-length zipper and fabric ties on WildBird covers make removal and insertion easy, so you can wash them without hassle.
Step-by-Step Cleaning and Storage Guide
- Remove the Cover: Unzip the full-length zipper and slide the cover off the pregnancy pillow. If your cover has fabric ties, untie them first. Common mistake: Forgetting to close the zipper before washing—this can snag other items or damage the zipper. Always zip the cover fully before washing to protect the zipper.
- Pre-Treat Stains: Spot-clean any stains with a mild detergent or stain remover. Apply it directly to the stain and let it sit for 5 minutes. Common mistake: Using bleach or harsh chemicals, which can fade colors like Desert Lark's mauve or Clementine's vibrant orange. Test any stain remover on a hidden area first.
- Machine Wash: Place the cover in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener—it can break down fibers and reduce absorbency. Common mistake: Overloading the washer, which prevents thorough cleaning. Wash the cover alone or with similar lightweight items.
- Dry Properly: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Remove the cover promptly when slightly damp to prevent wrinkles. Common mistake: High heat can shrink or damage the fabric, especially if it's a natural blend. Check the care label—if unsure, air drying is safest.
- Store Correctly: Fold the clean cover neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid plastic bags—use a breathable cotton storage bag instead. Common mistake: Storing the cover while damp, which can lead to mildew. Make sure the cover is completely dry before storing.
