Do you want to keep your pillows fresh and clean but aren’t sure how to do it? Don’t worry! Here are some easy steps to help you clean your pillows and make them feel like new again.
The first thing you need to do is look at the care label on your pillows. This label will tell you if your pillows can be washed in a machine or if they need to be dry cleaned. It’s important to follow these instructions so you don’t accidentally damage your pillows.
If your pillows are machine washable, use a front-loading washing machine. Set the machine to a gentle cycle and use a mild detergent. It’s best to use warm water for washing. To make sure your pillows are really clean, add an extra rinse cycle. This will help remove all the soap and dirt.
After washing, it’s time to dry your pillows. Put them in a dryer set on low heat. To help your pillows stay fluffy and prevent them from clumping, add some dryer balls or clean tennis balls. These will bounce around in the dryer and keep your pillows nice and soft.
Here are some additional tips to keep your pillows in great shape:
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy clean and comfy pillows every night. Happy cleaning!
