Care Instructions for St. Geneve Goose Down Pillows and Duvets

Use a pillow protector with your down pillow. This will help keep body oils and perspiration away from the pillow and will prolong it's life.

Use a duvet cover with your duvet. This will help prevent stains and soiling and is required to maintain your warranty. Avoid sitting or laying on top of your duvet. This will help keep it warm and fluffy for years to come.

Storing: The breathable cotton carry bag that comes with your pillow(s) and duvet(s) is perfect for storing your items in. Store in a cool dry place. Do not wrap or store your pillow or duvet in plastic.

St. Geneve Goose Down Pillows and Duvets are machine washable. However, we suggest that you use a professional service that is experienced in laundering quality down bedding. If you do not have such a service locally, We recommend Blanc Plume.
