Polyester is a strong, crease-resistant and highly versatile synthetic fabric often used in pillows, upholstery and clothing. It keeps its shape well and wears well. Polyester is commonly blended with cotton to extend the wear of garments. Here are some general care guidelines:

• Polyester items can usually be machine washed and dried or dry-cleaned.
  
• Use warm water and add fabric softener to the final
  rinse cycle.
  
• Machine dry polyester items at a low temperature and remove them as soon as the cycle finishes.
  
• Use a moderately warm iron when necessary.
