Baking soda
Laundry detergent
Lavender essential oil (for a soothing fragrance)
Cleaning Steps:
First, ensure your pillow is labeled as machine washable.
Add your usual amount of detergent to the washing machine. Incorporate ½ cup of baking soda and a few drops of lavender essential oil for its fresh, calming scent.
Wash two pillows at a time for balance, using a regular wash cycle.
Pillow Maintenance Tips:
Daily Care: Boost your pillows’ freshness each morning by stripping off the pillowcases and airing them out. Opening the windows to let in sunlight can help diminish humidity and deter mold growth within your bedding.
Steam Cleaning: For a quick refresh or to tackle dullness, a steam cleaner can penetrate deep into the pillow fabric, rejuvenating its appearance and feel.
Pre-Wash Soaking: To tackle severe staining or to restore whiteness, soak your pillows in a solution of lemon juice, white vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide prior to washing. This pre-treatment can help break down stains and brighten the fabric.
Incorporating these cleaning routines into your household chores can significantly improve the longevity and hygiene of your bed pillows. By ensuring they remain clean, fluffy, and pleasant-smelling, you contribute to a more restful and healthful night’s sleep.
