Pillows require a deep cleaning about three times a year, but it's not always possible to just throw them in the washing machine.

But don't worry, we have an easy way to clean your pillows without using a washing machine.

Use the bath

If you have several pillows to wash and your washing machine is too small, consider using a bathtub.

It is especially recommended to carry out this procedure manually for down or feather pillows.

Step 1: Fill the bathtub with hot water and add laundry detergent.

You can also use a small amount of soap or soda. All of these products effectively remove dirt, germs, and bacteria.

Step 2: Submerge the pillow completely in the bath with the cleaning solution and leave it there for 6 hours. The water will become visibly dirty, indicating effective cleaning.

How to Dry a Pillow

Once you have removed your pillow from the water, there are several ways to dry it.

If you don't have a drying rack, you can hang your pillows outdoors, such as outside or on a balcony.

It is important to ensure that the center of the pillow is completely dry and not left damp to avoid mold growth.

You can then place clean pillowcases on your refreshed pillows and enjoy their cleanliness.

This effective method of cleaning pillows without a washing machine will help you keep them fresh and clean. Remember to do this procedure regularly to keep your pillows clean.
