Keep your Pillo fresh with simple cover care. Learn how to wash, dry, and replace the Pillo Outer Cover so it stays clean, comfortable, and ready to use.

Quick answer

Wash your Pillo Outer Cover by hand or on a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent, then air-dry it completely before use. Replace it when stains, odors, or wear persist after cleaning, or keep a spare on hand for quick swaps.

Why regular cover care matters

The Pillo Outer Cover is the layer that touches skin, bedding, and surfaces, so it collects oils, sweat, and dust faster than the inner pillow. Regular cleaning keeps your setup feeling tidy and extends the time between replacements.

A spare cover also lets you swap immediately after washing, so you are never left waiting for a damp cover to dry.

When to replace instead of wash

If the cover still looks dull, feels stiff, or holds an odor after a proper wash and full dry, replacement is the practical choice. The Pillo Outer Cover is designed as a spare, so replacing it is straightforward and does not require buying a new pillow.

Step-by-step Pillo Outer Cover care

Remove the cover: Unzip or slip off the Pillo Outer Cover from the inner pillow. Check the care tag for any fiber-specific limits before washing. Never wash the inner pillow with the cover; separate them first.
Pre-treat stains: Dab visible stains with a small amount of mild detergent and cold water. Let it sit for a few minutes before washing. Avoid hot water on stains, which can set them.
Wash gently: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, or use a gentle machine cycle if the care tag allows. Close zippers and fasten any closures. Skip fabric softener and bleach; they can break down fibers and leave residue.
Rinse thoroughly: Rinse until the water runs clear. Detergent residue can irritate skin and make the cover feel stiff. If you see suds after rinsing, keep rinsing.
Dry completely: Air-dry flat or hang to dry away from direct heat. Flip the cover once halfway through drying. Do not put it away or use it while damp; trapped moisture causes odors.
Replace when needed: If stains, odors, or stiffness remain after washing and drying, swap in a new Pillo Outer Cover. Keep a spare in Indigo or Oat for quick changes. A spare cover means you never have to wait for laundry day.
