How to Wash Yellowed Pillows: 3 Tips to Leave Them White as New (Page 2 ) | August 8, 2025

To naturally lighten and soften the textile fibers of your pillow, a combination of baking soda and white vinegar is a perfect solution. In fact, you can rely on the antibacterial and bleaching action of these two elements to remove all the dirt, sweat, and stains present on your pillow. This will also help combat any unpleasant odors that may have set in.

Using them correctly is very simple. Place your pillow in a container filled with hot water and add half a cup of white vinegar mixed with the same amount of baking soda. Let it soak for 1 hour. Then choose a normal wash cycle and run it through the washing machine, then air dry. It’s worth noting that baking soda can also be used to clean your mattress.

3. Lemon and Hydrogen Peroxide

Ideal for replacing bleach, this stain-fighting and dust-mite treatment combines lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide to whiten clothes. These ingredients contain active ingredients that can easily remove sweat or saliva stains.

To take advantage of its benefits, prepare a bucket of hot water with half a cup of lemon juice and twice as much hydrogen peroxide. Place the pillow in the bucket and let it sit for an hour. After this time, run a normal cycle in your washing machine to rinse the pillow and then let it dry in the sun.
