Here are 3 effective ways to wash yellowed pillows:
1. Hot water with lemon.
Lemon is an invaluable and very effective ally if you want to give new life to your pillows to sleep well and with optimal comfort. You can use the following trick to take advantage of the bleaching and disinfecting properties of citrus fruits.
Start by boiling 2.5 liters of water and adding 6 cups of lemon juice. Then soak the pillow in this lemon water for about 2 hours. All you have to do is wash the pillow in soapy water to remove stains, then rinse and dry it. Feel free to add more water to ensure the pillow is completely submerged in the solution.
2. White vinegar and baking soda.
To naturally brighten and soften the textile fibers of your pillow, the ideal solution is a combination of baking soda and white vinegar. In fact, you can rely on the antibacterial and bleaching action of these two elements to remove all the dirt, sweat, and stains from the pillow. In addition, it also helps to combat any unpleasant odors that may have lingered in it.
Using them correctly is very simple. Place the pillow in a bowl of hot water and add 1/2 cup of white vinegar mixed with an equal amount of baking soda. Let it sit for 1 hour. Then select a normal wash cycle and run it in the washing machine, then air dry. It should be noted that you can also use baking soda to clean your mattress.
3. Lemon and hydrogen peroxide
Ideal as a bleach replacement, this stain and mite remover combines lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water) to whiten your laundry. Ingredients that contain active ingredients that easily remove sweat and saliva stains.
To reap its benefits, prepare a bucket of hot water, add half a cup of lemon juice and double the amount of hydrogen peroxide. Place the pillow in the bucket and leave it for an hour. When the time is up, run a normal cycle in your washing machine to rinse the pillow, then let it dry in the sun.
Small pillows 50×50 will fit in the drum even in pairs. The main thing is to squeeze them so that the air comes out. This way they will fill the inner space of the machine and will not knock against the walls.
The following cleaning products will be needed:
- washing powder;
- oxygen bleach, from persal to bos;
- 2 or 3 tablespoons of regular baking soda;
You can also put a few foam sponges soaked in balm there.
The main thing is to choose dry, windy weather for washing. This way the pillows will dry quickly on the rope. The main thing is to beat the pillows several times and knead the lumps so that the fluff fluffs up faster
After the treatment, sleeping will be a pleasure, the pillows will smell fresh and shine white. There will be no trace of stains.
The main thing is not to wash the orthopedic mattresses entirely; the manufacturer insists that only the covers can be washed.
Wash twice a year and your pillows will last a long time, bring freshness and give you a great night’s sleep.
