After a thorough bedroom cleaning, it’s essential not to overlook washing your pillows. Pillowcases can harbor bacteria and debris, emphasizing the importance of regular cleaning. While there’s no strict schedule for washing pillows, experts recommend doing so at least two or three times a year.
Preparation for Washing:
- Conduct a quick test to assess if your pillow needs washing or replacing. Fold it in half; if it springs back, a wash will suffice.
- Use liquid detergent instead of powder to avoid potential stains.
Washing Tips:
- Optimize washing efficiency by laundering two pillows simultaneously to prevent an unbalanced spin.
- Check the label for specific washing instructions. In the absence of clear guidance, washing in warm water on a gentle setting is a common practice.
- Accelerate drying times by placing tennis balls or similar rubber objects in the machine to beat out excess water and prevent clumping.
Cleaning Foam Pillows:
- Avoid washing foam pillows, including memory foam, as they readily absorb water and are challenging to dry.
- Instead, use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to remove accumulated dirt or debris without wetting the foam.
