Quick answer
Wash your Rewards Luxe pillowcases in cool or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or line dry. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents to preserve the smooth, crisp finish.
Why temperature and detergent matter for smooth pillowcases
High heat and harsh chemicals can break down fibers and leave pillowcases feeling rough or looking dull. Cool or lukewarm water and a mild detergent clean effectively without stressing the fabric, helping it stay smooth wash after wash.
When to choose line drying over machine drying
If you have the space, line drying is the gentlest option and avoids any risk of heat damage. Machine drying on low is convenient, but remove pillowcases promptly to prevent wrinkles from setting.
Step-by-step care routine
- Check the care label first: Before washing, locate the care label on your pillowcases and follow any specific instructions. If the label is missing, use the gentle method below. Always defer to the label if it differs from general advice.
- Pre-treat stains gently: For spots, dab a small amount of mild detergent directly onto the stain and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before washing. Avoid rubbing harshly, which can damage fibers. Skip bleach or enzyme-heavy stain removers unless the label explicitly allows them.
- Wash in cool or lukewarm water: Set your machine to a gentle cycle with cool or lukewarm water (around 30°C / 86°F). Use a mild, liquid detergent and avoid fabric softener, which can coat fibers and reduce smoothness. Never use hot water, as it can shrink or roughen the fabric.
- Dry on low or line dry: Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting, or hang to dry if possible. If machine drying, remove pillowcases while slightly damp to minimize wrinkles. High heat is the most common cause of a rough, stiff feel—always avoid it.
- Fold or iron if needed: Smooth pillowcases by hand or with a cool iron if necessary. Store folded in a dry place. Check that pillowcases are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
