How to Whiten Yellowed Pillows: Simple and Effective Tips (Page 2 ) | April 25, 2025

### 4. **Hydrogen Peroxide**

Hydrogen peroxide is a powerhouse stain remover. It acts as a bleach alternative and can help lift tough yellow stains. It’s best to use a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide, which is safe for most fabrics and gentle enough to not damage your pillow.

### 5. **Dish Soap**

A small amount of liquid dish soap, preferably a mild one, can help break down greasy body oils. Dish soap is formulated to remove oils and stains from various fabrics, making it an effective addition to your cleaning routine.

### 6. **Washing Machine**

For convenience and efficiency, using a washing machine is the most effective way to clean yellowed pillows. Choose a washing machine that can handle the weight and size of your pillows. You may want to use a gentle or delicate wash cycle for best results.

### 7. **Dryer Balls or Tennis Balls**

When drying your pillows, using dryer balls or clean tennis balls can help maintain their fluffiness. These balls help prevent clumping and promote even drying, ensuring your pillows stay soft and plump.

### 8. **Laundry Bag (Optional)**

For delicate pillows, you may want to use a laundry bag to protect the fabric during the washing and drying process. This is particularly useful for down or memory foam pillows.

## Methods for Whitening Yellowed Pillows

### Method 1: **The Basic Washing Solution**

This is the simplest method for whitening yellowed pillows and works well for most standard pillows. Here’s what you need to do:

#### Ingredients:
– Laundry detergent
– 1/2 cup baking soda
– 1/2 cup white vinegar

#### Instructions:
1. **Load Your Washing Machine**: Place your pillows in the washing machine. For best results, wash two pillows at once to balance the load and prevent damage to the fabric.

2. **Add Laundry Detergent**: Pour the recommended amount of your chosen laundry detergent into the washing machine. For this method, use a gentle detergent that won’t harm the fabric.

3. **Add Baking Soda**: Add 1/2 cup of baking soda directly to the drum of the washing machine. Baking soda will help break down the oils and grime that have built up in the pillow, removing stains and neutralizing odors.

4. **Add White Vinegar**: Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar during the rinse cycle (when the washing machine fills with water for the final rinse). The vinegar will help soften the fabric and further break down oils and residue, contributing to the whitening effect.

5. **Wash and Rinse**: Set the washing machine to a warm or hot water cycle, as hot water can help remove stains more effectively. Let the machine go through the full wash and rinse cycles.

6. **Dry the Pillows**: Once the washing cycle is complete, dry the pillows in the dryer on a low or medium heat setting. Add a couple of clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the pillows as they dry.

### Method 2: **The Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda Method**

This method is ideal for particularly stubborn yellow stains and works well for both synthetic and natural-fill pillows, such as down. Hydrogen peroxide acts as a mild bleach and can break down the proteins in sweat and oils that cause yellowing.
