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.

Cleaning Basics for All Types of Pillows

  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!
