How To Clean And Whiten Yellowed Pillows
Ingredients
- Very hot water (boil some on the stove if your hot water heater doesn't get that hot)
- 1 cup chlorine bleach
- 1 cup powdered dish-washing detergent
- 1 cup laundry detergent
- 1/2 cup borax
Directions
- Fill your machine 1/3 way with very hot water. Add the cleaning solution.
- Turn on your washing machine and let it agitate for a few minutes (so the mixture dissolves fully).
- Put your pillows in (two at a time works best so your machine is balanced).
- Fill your washing machine the rest of the way with water.
- Wash in a full cycle (make sure you have the second rinse cycle turned on).
- If you have a top loader, Jill recommends turning the pillows over halfway through the cycle so both sides get fully washed in the solution.
To Dry
- For down and feather pillows, be sure to dry on air-dry mode.
- Synthetic pillows should be dried on low-temp setting.
- A tip from Jill: to help keep the fluffiness in your pillows, add a tennis ball or dryer ball in the dryer.
