Using your Zelina Pillow is easy. Just place it on your couch or bed to instantly spruce up the look of your room. When you receive it, the pillow might be a bit flat from shipping. To fluff it up, start by gently kneading it to loosen the fibers inside. Then, toss it in the dryer on a low tumble setting. Put a sock stuffed with a tennis ball in the dryer too. This will help 'beat' the pillow and make it nice and fluffy. Once it's fluffy, take it out and put it back where you want to display it. As for maintenance, this pillow can only be dry - cleaned. Don't try to wash it at home, as it might damage the fabric and the pom poms. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid tearing the cotton. With these simple steps, your Zelina Pillow will stay beautiful for a long time.
