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:

Natural laundry detergent (enough for a large load)
½ cup washing soda
5 drops lavender essential oil
Washing machine

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!).

1. - 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).

1. - 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.
