How To Easily Clean Your Pillows (Because Drool Happens)
Have you ever taken a pillowcase off a pillow and discovered lovely yellow drool spots?
EWWWW – right?!
As much as we would all love to believe that we sleep as pretty as princesses… mouth gaping open and drool flowing out is probably a more accurate description.
Drool happens.
It’s okay.
Next time you come face to face with an icky pillow, use this method to bring it back to a fresh and happy life!
WHY Clean Your Pillows?
It’s best to give your pillows a thorough wash every 3 months, because skin cells, dust mites, oils and moisture can get stuck in and on your pillow (even with pillow cases and protectors!).
How To Clean Your Pillows
What You Need:
Directions:
1. Turn your washing machine on to the HOTTEST setting and set it for a large load.
2. Add natural detergent to the running water in the washing machine (the amount you would for a large load).
3. Add ½ cup of washing soda to the machine (will help lift stains and whiten pillow!).
-
-
- Also add 5 drops of lavender essential oil for relaxing and fresh scented pillows (optional).
4. Place 1 or 2 pillows in the washing machine (AFTER detergent and washing soda have been added).
-
-
- Allow the washing machine cycle to complete.
5. Put the pillows in the dryer on low heat for a full cycle.
Is It Time To Buy A New Pillow?
Here is a quick way to check if it’s time to purchase a new pillow:
- Fold the pillow in half:
- If it unfolds and goes back to its normal shape – KEEP IT.
- If it stays in place folded – TOSS IT.
