Why Pillow Hygiene Matters?

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of washing, let’s talk about why it’s crucial. Think about all the hours you spend nestled in your cozy pillow – it’s like a soft sanctuary for your head. But, it also becomes a magnet for dust, oils, and tiny uninvited guests. Dirty pillows can lead to allergies, skin issues, and, unpleasant odors. For a hygienic nap it’s very essential to keep the surroundings clean and pillows being our sleeping buddy require extra attention. These buddies not only provide support to us all night long but also make sure your skin and hair are taken care of. That’s why SleepyCat helps you choose from an array of satin pillowcases that has its very own benefits. With the added feature of giving you the luxe feel, the satin pillowcases protect your pillow and your skin from getting dirty and helps your skin to bid goodbye to acne prone skin. But at SleepyCat you don’t have to worry about washing the pillowcase but can even toss the pillow in the machine whenever you like. With a bit of care, your pillows can be as fresh as the day you first met them.

Cleaning Basics for All Types of Pillows

Whether you have standard pillows, memory foam, or even those luxurious SleepyCat pillows, the cleaning process follows a few general steps:

  1. Checking the Care Label:

   Start by looking at the care label on your pillow. It’s like the cheat code to washing. Most pillows can be machine-washed, but some may require hand washing or professional cleaning. SleepyCat pillows come with easy-to-follow care instructions, so you’re all set!

  1. Pillowcase Love:

   Before washing the pillow itself, give your pillowcase a good clean. Pop it into the washing machine with similar colors, and voilà – it’s fresh and ready for another dreamy night.

  1. Machine Magic

   If your pillow is machine-washable, follow these steps:

   – Use a mild detergent.

   – Wash two pillows at a time to keep your machine balanced.

   – Use a gentle cycle with cold water.

   – Rinse twice to make sure all the soap is gone.

  1. Drying Process

   To avoid clumps, place your pillows in the dryer with a couple of tennis balls. This helps fluff them up. Use low heat, and check them regularly to ensure they dry evenly. Or, better yet, let them air dry in the sun for that fresh, outdoor scent!
