3) The odor from the pillow smells funny
Though it’s not a cause for alarm, a funny odor from your pillow can be indicative of improper cleaning. Here are steps to properly clean your waterproof pillow protector: Visit product page and view product How to Clean a Waterproof Pillow Protector. Carefully remove your pillow protector and wash with warm water (do not use hot water) in a washing machine at home, or take it to your local dry cleaner/laundry service.
4) Stains left behind by some foods, such as oils and spaghetti sauce, don’t come out
Stains left behind by some foods, such as oils and spaghetti sauce, don’t come out. Even if you think your waterproof pillow protector is clean and dry, it might not be. Before using a moistened sponge or cloth to wash your protector, test it on an area of fabric that’s hidden from view. If water penetrates through after five minutes, you need to repeat steps 2-4 again and do so until no moisture gets in.
5) The pillow feels stiff or brittle when it gets wet
If your pillow protector is not absorbing water, it’s time to wash it. Wash your pillow protector in cold water and lay flat to dry to get it back in shape. This will also help extend its life.
Using hot water or detergent when washing: Hot water or harsh detergents can damage waterproof materials over time. Only use lukewarm water with a mild detergent when washing your pillow protector. Harsh detergents like bleach can compromise waterproof materials and leave a foul odor on your pillow protector.
6) The protector feels stiff, brittle, hard, scratchy, grainy, rubbery or squeaky after being washed
This can be a sign that your protector isn’t being washed properly. The protector should feel soft, comfortable and supple after washing. Anything else means you’re not caring for it right.
