How to clean dirty bed pillows to leave them white and smelling sweet

Pillows naturally accumulate sweat, dust, and mites over time, leading to stains and allergens. Keeping them clean is essential for a healthy sleep environment. Here’s how to refresh your pillows:

How Often Should You Clean?
Pillows should be washed every six months to prevent yellowing caused by sweat and bacteria. Duvets should be cleaned annually.

Easy Pillow Cleaning Tip
Ingredients:

Baking soda
Laundry detergent
Lavender essential oil
Steps:

Check if your pillows are machine-washable.
Add detergent to the washer, then half a cup of baking soda and a few drops of lavender oil.
Wash two pillows at once for balance.
Daily Maintenance
Air pillows daily by removing cases and exposing them to sunlight.
Use a steam cleaner for a quick refresh.
For stubborn stains, pre-soak in lemon juice, white vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide before washing.
