Here’s How To Clean Dirty Bed Pillows To Give Them Whiteness And A Sweet Scent

Soft or firm pillows, feather, polyester fiber or latex pillows… Like duvets, sheets, mattresses or duvet covers, choosing your pillow allows you to enjoy optimal comfort during sleep. But in addition to the quality of the pillow, its cleanliness is essential. Indeed, the pillowcase is not enough to protect it from dirt and yellowish stains related to perspiration that we suffer every night. Here are some tips for cleaning pillows and restoring their natural whiteness.

How often should pillows be washed?

To prevent pillows from yellowing, they should be cleaned regularly using bleaches. Indeed, the yellowing of pillows is mainly due to the secretion of sweat or perspiration during sleep. These fluids create a climate conducive to the development of bacteria and mites. And for good reason, these pathogens are fond of damp environments and can proliferate in bedding. But while some people get rid of their pillows as soon as they see yellow stains appearing, others believe that pillowcases are enough to protect their health and extend the life of their pillows. But in reality, they must be washed every 6 months minimum. The duvet can be washed once a year. If your pillows are machine washable, you can place two tennis balls in the drum to preserve their shape.What trick to clean and whiten pillows?
