# How to Wash Satin Pillowcases
Satin pillowcases are a luxurious option. The fabric is fine enough that it won't leave pillow marks on your face, and it stays cool on warm nights. Satin pillowcases are more delicate than polyester or cotton, as stains from oil or food are generally harder to remove. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for care, which can be found on the care tag inside the pillowcase.
