✅ How to Clean and Care for Your Eye Pillow
An eye pillow is a gentle companion for relaxation, meditation, and small moments of rest. To keep it fresh and long-lasting, proper care is essential. Here are all the tips you need to clean and energetically refresh your MalaSariLove eye pillow.
1. Storage – Keeping Your Eye Pillow Protected
Store your eye pillow in the cotton pouch provided.
This protects it from dust, moisture, and external influences — and keeps it ready to use whenever you need a moment of calm.
2. Washing the Outer Cover
The outer cover is removable and machine-washable at 30°C (cold/gentle cycle).
Tips:
- Use a mild detergent
- Choose a gentle cycle
- Let it air-dry (avoid the dryer)
If you use your eye pillow regularly, a second cover to switch out can be very helpful.
3. Cleaning the Inner Pillow
Inside, you’ll find a blend of linseeds and clear quartz crystals. The inner pillow doesn’t need frequent washing, but if you feel it’s time for a refresh, follow these steps:
- Quick rinse under cold water
You can gently rinse the inner pillow under cold running water to cleanse the crystals.
Important:
- Do not wring it out
- Only rinse briefly
- Allow it to dry completely
Place it on a heater, in the sun, or in a warm, dry spot.
The inner pillow must be fully dry before putting it back into the cover.
4. Energetic Cleansing
In addition to physical cleaning, you can also energetically cleanse your eye pillow:
- Full moon light: Place it outside or on a windowsill overnight.
- Sunlight: Briefly charge it in the sun.
- Smudging: Optional — use palo santo or white sage to clear the energy.
This refreshes the natural energy of the crystals and brings new clarity into your ritual.
5. Regular Care Tips
- Keep the pillow dry
- Store it in the cotton pouch
- Use additional covers if you meditate often
- Wash only as needed — gentle care goes a long way
With a little mindful attention, your eye pillow will accompany you for many years — soft, natural, and filled with the clear, grounding energy of quartz.
