Kapok is initially hand cleaned when gathered by villagers. Passed on to larger town centers that have a machine similar to a wool carding machine that further cleans the fiber for distribution and making into the multitude of products that kapok lends itself to such as pillows, mattresses, bolsters, meditation massage yoga mats and cushions, inserts. Any spills on kapok products will be repelled by the water resistant properties of the fiber itself so simply sponge off the shell that holds your kapok product and put it out to dry in direct sunlight or in a dryer on warm with a couple of tennis balls. Kapok products puff/fluff back up when regularly placed in direct sunlight and this lengthens the 20-30 years of life that you will enjoy from your wonderfully naturally organic Kapok filled product.
