Corn fiber offers superior moisture absorption and ventilation properties as well as being extremely soft, lustrous and warm. It is machine washable and dryable and the color doesn't fade. Machine wash in cold water and fluff dry without heat or lay out to dry. Do not iron. Corn fiber contains no petroleum and all products are manufactured to be eco-friendly.
