How to Maintain Your Hinoki Pillow
Hinoki Wood is prized for its calming scent and antibacterial properties.
With the right care, your Hinoki Pillow will stay fresh and supportive for years.
Why Proper Care Matters
Proper care ensures your Hinoki Pillow remains hygienic and effective. Regular ventilation prevents moisture buildup, while cold-washing the cover maintains the fabric's integrity. By following these steps below, you extend the lifespan of the pillow and maintain a clean sleep environment.
Maintenance Instructions
The Outer Cover
Unzip and remove the cover. Machine-wash the cover using water below 20°C.
Separate deep and bright colors from light-colored laundry to prevent staining.
The Insert
Place the insert in a well-ventilated area under indirect sunlight. This eliminates bacteria without drying out the wood’s natural oils.
DO NOT wash the wood shavings. Submerging them in water will cause damage and rot.
Refreshing the Fragrance
You can use our Hinoki Mist* to refresh the pillow's fragrance.
A light spray re-activates the natural scent and antibacterial properties of the wood shavings.
Avoid using industrial sprays or chemical fresheners as they will damage the natural Hinoki fragrance and compromise the wood’s antibacterial properties.
*Available in Singapore only.
Adjustable Comfort
You can customize the comfort of the pillow by adding or removing shavings. Simply unzip the insert and remove shavings until the height is perfect for your neck.
Store any removed shavings in a zip-lock bag or airtight container. This preserves their fragrance and moisture for future use.
Do's
Wash the cover in cold water (< 20°C).
Ventilate the insert in indirect sunlight.
Use our Hinoki Mist to restore the pillow's fragrance.
