KUMA OUTDOOR GEAR 422 Chip Pillow Instructions
Do not wash our foam pillow in the washing machine. The agitation during the wash and spin cycle will break the foam.
Also avoid putting foam pillows in the dryer, but be prepared for a long and slow air drying process. Since the foam is dense, it may take up to 24 hours for foam pillows to dry, even in sunny, breezy weather. Follow these steps for best results.
STEP 1 – Spot clean stains
Pretreat stains or simply spot clean stained areas of the pillow if you don’t have time for a complete washing. Mix a couple drops of laundry detergent in one cup of warm water. Dip a microfiber cloth in the solution and wring well before blotting the stained areas with the cloth. Leave the solution to work on the stains for at least 10 minutes. Dip a clean cloth in fresh water and wipe away any soapy residue.
STEP 2 – Make a pillow bath
Fill a plastic tub with enough lukewarm water to submerge the pillow. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of laundry detergent and stir well to mix.
STEP 3 – Wash the pillow
Add one pillow to the soapy water and submerge it. Squeeze the pillow gently to help the cleaning solution loosen the soil.
Do not leave the pillow in the water longer than 10 minutes.
STEP 4 – Rinse and repeat
Drain the soapy water and fill the tub with cool water. Submerge the pillow and gently squeeze the foam to help release the suds. Change the water several times until no more suds appear. Make sure not to twist or wring the foam.
STEP 5 – Absorb excess moisture
After the pillow has been rinsed, remove it from the tub and sandwich it between two heavy cotton bath towels. Press down to absorb excess moisture. Keep changing the towels until no more water is easily absorbed. Place the pillow flat on a drying rack and turn it frequently.
Again, never place a foam pillow in a tumble dryer.
