Do you want to keep your pillow clean and smelling fresh? It’s easier than you might think! Just follow these simple steps to wash your pillow the right way:
Before you start, take a look at the care label on your pillow. This label will tell you if your pillow can be washed in a machine or if it needs to be washed by hand. It’s important to follow these instructions to avoid damaging your pillow.
When you’re ready to wash your pillow, use a mild detergent. This type of detergent is gentle and won’t harm the fabric of your pillow. If you’re using a washing machine, set it to a gentle cycle and use warm water. This helps to clean your pillow without being too harsh.
After washing, it’s very important to dry your pillow completely. You can use a dryer on a low heat setting, or you can let it air dry. Make sure it’s fully dry to prevent mold and mildew from growing inside your pillow.
