Step-by-Step Guide to Washing Pillows
1. Check the Care Label
Look for the washing instructions. Most synthetic, feather, or down pillows are machine-washable. Memory foam pillows should be spot-cleaned only.
2. Remove Pillowcase and Protector
Take off covers or protectors and wash them separately according to their care instructions.
3. Balance the Load
Wash two pillows at a time to keep your machine balanced and prevent clumping.
4. Use Mild Liquid Detergent
Avoid powder detergent—it can leave residue. Use a small amount of liquid detergent for best results.
5. Add Whitening Boosters (Optional)
To make pillows extra white, add one or more of these to the drum:
½ cup baking soda
½ cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide
6. Select a Gentle Cycle
Use warm water (not hot!) and choose a gentle or delicate setting. Add an extra rinse if possible.
7. Spin Twice
After washing, run an extra spin cycle to help remove water and speed up drying.
🔥 Drying the Pillows
8. Use Tennis Balls in the Dryer
Place pillows in the dryer with 2–3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. Use low heat or air dry to protect the filling.
9. Fluff During Drying
Every 30–40 minutes, pause the dryer and fluff the pillows by hand to keep them even and fluffy.
10. Ensure Complete Dryness
Make sure pillows are 100% dry before using. Moisture left inside can lead to mold or mildew.
✨ Final Thoughts
Washing your pillows regularly keeps them fresh, fluffy, and hygienic. With just a few simple steps, you can revive old pillows and enjoy better sleep with snow-white comfort!
