Can latex pillows be washed?

Compared with other pillows, latex pillows actually have many advantages. For example, latex pillows can prevent mites and inhibit bacteria, and can also improve sleep quality for some friends who have poor sleep quality. But when it comes to latex pillows, many people have this question: Can latex pillows be washed? In fact, for some latex pillows of good quality, they can be washed.

1. It can be washed by hand with water, but not in a washing machine.

The most convenient way to clean a latex pillow is to wash it with water, but it cannot be washed in a washing machine, otherwise the soft latex will easily be crushed, so it must be washed manually.

2. Use the squeezing method when hand washing.

The weight of a latex pillow will double after absorbing water. When taking it out of the water, do not grab a corner and pull it up, as this will cause tearing. Also, do not twist it hard. Instead, hold the center and most of the pillow and carefully take it out of the water. Then, put one hand on top and the other hand on the bottom to slowly squeeze out the water.

3. Drying method

After washing the latex pillow, use a dry towel or other absorbent material to absorb moisture, and press it dry with both hands. Dry it in a cool and ventilated place, or use an electric fan to blow it dry. Do not expose it to the sun. Natural latex will age if exposed to the sun, resulting in powdery substances on the surface.

2. Maintenance of latex pillow

1. Do not place heavy objects on top of the product when storing it, and do not place it in a humid space.

2. If you use vacuum bags for compression and storage, do not store them for more than 3-6 months. If the latex pillow is found to be deformed when you take it out of use, it will recover on its own after leaving it for 1-2 days.

Latex products are very delicate, so take good care of them. Latex pillows do not need to be washed frequently, but they should be placed in a cool, ventilated and dry place regularly to allow them to dry naturally.
