display for selection, you can activate it
subsequently.

odour when they are warm.
 Laundry: use sufficient detergent.
 Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and air them.
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.

are being worn and to some extent when they are
being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any lint
to form.

can be easily removed.
