How to Wash Pillows Properly: Few People Know These Secrets
For your own sake, you should wash not only pillowcases and pillow covers, but also the pillows themselves, even if they play a decorative role.
Frequent washing, as we know, makes things deteriorate faster, and improper washing makes it even worse. Let's figure out what kind of pillow care is considered correct.
Here are some secrets that will allow you to wash the product without causing much harm.
1. First, you need to find out what kind of filler the manufacturer used to make your pillow.
2. If the label remains, you can find all the necessary information on it. It is possible that washing as such is completely excluded. Then you will have to go to the dry cleaner or buy a new item.
3. Don't expect one pillow to last for several years.
How to wash
More and more often, housewives give preference to synthetic fillers, which dry faster and do not cause problems.
This can be polyester, holofiber, ecofiber and other fibers. Usually, you can start washing such products only after reading the information on the label.
Natural fillers include corn, peas, and bamboo. But if the filling is plant-based, it would be better to buy a new pillow.
Firstly, washing is carried out in water at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, on a delicate cycle, with liquid detergent.
Secondly, after washing, it is necessary to sort out the lumps before sending the item out to dry.
Thirdly, drying the pillow is only allowed in the open air and the procedure takes up to three days.
