How to properly clean and care for pillows: 4 effective ways
SSPDaily has collected tips on how to properly clean and care for pillows. From washing to regular care, this process can affect the overall quality of sleep and health.
How to clean pillows properly
Always check the label for specific care instructions. Most pillows are machine washable, but it is important to use a delicate cycle and mild detergent to avoid damaging the filling.
Spot cleaning and stain removal
Use a solution of water and mild detergent or a specialized cushion cleaner to dampen the area in question. It is not recommended to scrub the fabric hard as this may damage the fibers.
Baking soda
For stubborn stains, you can gently apply a paste of baking soda and water before rinsing and air drying the cushions. Addressing the stain immediately is crucial to prevent it from becoming embedded and difficult to remove.
Maintaining cleanliness
To keep your cushions clean, it's important to fluff them regularly and spot clean any new stains as soon as they appear. In addition, use a pillow protector to keep your cushions clean for longer. They act as a barrier against dust mites, moisture, and stains, thus prolonging the cleanliness of your cushions.
