FAIT de KAPOK

La fibre de kapok est une matière végétale soyeuse récoltée à partir des gousses des kapokiers sauvages, qui poussent naturellement dans les forêts tropicales. Connu pour sa texture légère et ses propriétés de résistance à l'humidité, le kapok offre une alternative respirante et végétalienne au duvet, idéale pour les oreillers, les matelas, les couettes et l'isolation.

Le kapok de Shoo-Foo provient d'Indonésie, où les arbres prospèrent sans traitements chimiques, pesticides ou engrais synthétiques. Cela signifie que chaque fibre reste intacte, naturellement hypoallergénique, résistante aux acariens et aux moisissures, et sans danger pour les peaux sensibles.

How do I refresh my kapok duvet or pillows?

Air out your kapok duvet or pillow once a month. Hang it outside in indirect sunlight or in a well-ventilated indoor space for 2–3 hours. This naturally refreshes the fibers and releases moisture.

How often should I spot-clean my kapok products?

Only as needed. Kapok is naturally antimicrobial and stays fresh longer than many fills, so regular washing is not required.

No. Heat and tumbling can damage the natural fibers. Always air dry only after spot-cleaning.

Store only when completely dry. Keep it in a breathable cotton or linen bag in a cool, dry environment. Avoid plastic bags or vacuum-sealing, which restrict airflow and can compress the fibers.
