Maintaining the freshness and cleanliness of your bed pillows is crucial not only for aesthetic reasons but also for ensuring a hygienic and allergen-free sleeping environment. Over time, pillows can become stained and harbor odors due to sweat, body oils, and exposure to various allergens, despite being encased in protective pillowcases. To combat this and extend the life of your pillows, here are some effective cleaning strategies that will leave them looking white and smelling wonderfully fresh.
Regular Cleaning for Pillow Care:
To prevent the buildup of yellow stains, bacteria, and allergens, it’s recommended to wash your pillows every six months. These stains, typically caused by sweat absorption, can create a breeding ground for mites and bacteria. Instead of discarding stained pillows, consider a thorough cleaning. For those that are machine washable, including two tennis balls in the washer can help maintain the pillows’ shape and fluffiness.
