Tips on how to wash a yellow pillow

Nowadays, many people begin to pay attention to the cleanliness of bedding. As we all know, bedding that is used for a long time will have a lot of mites. Pillows are one of the bedding items that people usually just hang out to dry. Because they are difficult to clean, they are often discarded. But in fact, there are many tips for cleaning the pillow after it turns yellow. Don't believe it? Find out in the following article!

In fact, simply cleaning the outer pillowcase and pillowcase is only a temporary solution, so the pillows should be dried and disinfected frequently to keep them clean. Even if you have chosen a comfortable pillow that is very suitable for your physical condition and sleeping habits, if you use improper methods during daily washing and maintenance, it will cause the pillow to deform, making it difficult to sleep comfortably and greatly shortening the life of the pillow. Today I will teach you how to properly clean a pillow that has turned yellow and moldy.

1. Yellow pillow

If the pillow starts to turn yellow after sleeping for a while, you can put it in the washing machine, then add laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, a little bleach and a small amount of sand, so that the yellow stains can be easily washed off. But if the pillow is a latex pillow or a spring, you cannot wash it in this way.

2. The inner core is yellowed over a large area

If the inner core is yellowed in large areas, you should first prepare laundry detergent, laundry powder, bleach and sandblasting.

First pour the boiled water into the washing machine, about one third of the water is needed, then pour in the laundry detergent, washing powder, sand, and bleach and mix them together.

3. Clean with toothpaste. Because toothpaste contains white ink, it can remove yellow stains on pillowcases.

4. When washing with a washing machine, it is best to add one third of freshly boiled hot water.

After all the preparations are done and the detergent is fully mixed, you can put in the pillow core.

5. After washing for a while, pause, turn the pillow core over, and continue washing!

In addition, you can also try washing with lemon. Boil the lemon water, then let it cool, and then soak the pillowcase in it. This will make cleaning much easier.

6. White vinegar method. In addition to its excellent bactericidal effect, white vinegar can also clean yellowed pillowcases very well. Dilute white vinegar with water, then put the pillowcase in to soak, and then rub it with your hands. This way you don’t have to worry about the pillowcase being damaged by sunlight exposure, and it can also wash away the sweat smell and stains on the pillowcase.

7. If you expose the pillowcase to the sun for one to two hours before washing, the stain removal effect will be better and more obvious. Soak the pillow after being exposed to the sun in hot water and add detergent or washing powder. The longer the soaking time, the more obvious the decontamination and stain removal effect will be. If there are stubborn stains on the pillow, you can brush it with a brush and add more detergent.
