Why does my Down Pillow have a scent?

The scent you're picking up on is natural for our Down products - and down in general! To help get rid of that smell, we recommend airing out your product by taking it out of the packaging and placing it outside on a dry day for a few hours.

We never recommend washing our item at home in the washing machine, as this will damage the down clusters. If you'd like, you can dry clean the item, but keep in mind that this will shorten its lifespan.

If you're interested in protecting your Pillow and covering any down scent, our Pillow Protectors are a great option. :) 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at hello@brooklinen.com and we're happy to chat more about our products!
