Laundry Tips: Pillow Care




We spend every night with our head atop a pillow, yet they are often neglected. Get into the habit of regularly washing and caring for your pillows, to ensure a healthy home.

Polyester and feather bed pillows can be washed at home with the help of your washing machine. First, mend rips and tears in the pillow before washing. Load two pillows into the washer to balance the machine - you may need to add towels to keep the washer operating smoothly. Use cold water and only a small amount of detergent on the gentle cycle.

When the cycle is complete, run the pillows through the rinse cycle again to ensure that all of the detergent is rinsed away.

Fluff the feathers before you put the pillows in the dryer. Set dryer to medium heat, and stop every 15 minutes to re-fluff the pillows. It will take longer than a normal load to get the pillows completely dry, so put them outside in the sun for a final dry.
