The gentle 5-minute methodThis is the ideal method for preserving the fiber. Fill a basin with lukewarm water (30°C max) and a pH-neutral detergent. Let it soak for 3 to 5 minutes without rubbing aggressively, then rinse with cold water.

Enemies to avoidDo not tumble dry: the heat will damage the fibers. Hang your pillowcase to air dry, but in the shade (direct sunlight will fade the color).
To restore a mirror-like shine, iron your pillowcase while still slightly damp on the reverse side, using the "Silk" setting or a soft iron.
