The range of pillows nowadays is very large. There are special pillows for the neck, back, for pregnant women, for improving sleep and decorative ones.

But in order for them to be useful, they need to be properly cared for. We suggest finding out how to care for pillows. First, you need to find out what kind of filling your pillows have, because the type of washing depends on this.

They can be natural - made of silk, wool, feathers, bamboo, seaweed, peas, corn, buckwheat husks and eucalyptus grass.

Before taking such pillows, you need to take out the filling and put it in several small bags. In these bags you need to put special balls that will break up the fluff and feathers so that they do not stick together.

Wash pillows at 30 degrees or in a delicate or hand wash mode. It is better to wash pillows with liquid washing powder. Dry the products outside for three days.
