The yellowness on the pillows is worse than bitter radish, and they also dust. How to wash pillows well and maintain the result?

But no matter how you look at it, the pillow turns yellow from sweat, collects dirt, dust, and sebum. Changing the pillowcase is not enough, because dirt gets inside too. And no one wants to breed dirt and dust mites.

Down pillows have to be washed because dust gets stuck in them in unimaginable quantities.

Tired housewives look hopefully towards the washing machine, but doubt. In vain. Even a bulky pillow is washed well in the drum. It definitely won’t work by hand.

How to properly wash a pillow
Here are 3 effective ways to wash yellowed pillows:

1. Hot water with lemon.

Lemon is an invaluable and very effective ally if you want to give new life to your pillows to sleep well and with optimal comfort. You can use the following trick to take advantage of the bleaching and disinfecting properties of citrus fruits.

Start by boiling 2.5 liters of water and adding 6 cups of lemon juice. Then soak the pillow in this lemon water for about 2 hours. All you have to do is wash the pillow in soapy water to remove stains, then rinse and dry it. Feel free to add more water to ensure the pillow is completely submerged in the solution.

2. White vinegar and baking soda.

To naturally brighten and soften the textile fibers of your pillow, the ideal solution is a combination of baking soda and white vinegar. In fact, you can rely on the antibacterial and bleaching action of these two elements to remove all the dirt, sweat, and stains from the pillow. In addition, it also helps to combat any unpleasant odors that may have lingered in it.

Using them correctly is very simple. Place the pillow in a bowl of hot water and add 1/2 cup of white vinegar mixed with an equal amount of baking soda. Let it sit for 1 hour. Then select a normal wash cycle and run it in the washing machine, then air dry. It should be noted that you can also use baking soda to clean your mattress.

3. Lemon and hydrogen peroxide

Ideal as a bleach replacement, this stain and mite remover combines lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water) to whiten your laundry. Ingredients that contain active ingredients that easily remove sweat and saliva stains.

To reap its benefits, prepare a bucket of hot water, add half a cup of lemon juice and double the amount of hydrogen peroxide. Place the pillow in the bucket and leave it for an hour. When the time is up, run a normal cycle in your washing machine to rinse the pillow, then let it dry in the sun.
