A feather pillow, like any other product, requires care, which mainly consists of regular cleaning to remove dirt, dust, sebum and dust mites.

Over time, it loses its appearance, begins to emit an unpleasant odor and can even become hazardous to health.

Thus, we come to the conclusion: timely cleaning of the pillow ensures comfortable sleep and good rest and, despite the fact that most people are sure of the opposite, it is quite feasible even at home.

If the thought is small, you can place it in the drum, adding 2-3 tennis balls or special devices for washing items filled with feathers or down.

First, you need to cut the pillowcase and remove the filling. To wash feathers, use special covers that can be purchased in a store or sewn yourself from natural material.

When washing feathers in a washing machine, you need to follow several rules: use a delicate cycle without spinning, set the water temperature to no higher than 30-40 degrees, use a liquid detergent without a strong odor that washes out well.

After washing, the filling should be dried and returned to the washed pillowcase, which is often replaced with a new one during the cleaning of the pillow.
