The Ultimate Guide to Washing Pillows: Refresh Your Sleep
A good night's sleep starts with clean, fresh bedding—and that includes your pillows. Over time, pillows accumulate dust, sweat, and oils, affecting their comfort and hygiene.
People who don’t wash their pillows are typically prone to acne skin
Washing your pillows periodically ensures they remain fluffy and free of allergens. But how often should you wash them, and what's the best method? Our laundromat has all the facilities you need to get your pillows feeling and smelling like new.
When to Wash Your Pillows
Experts recommend washing your pillows every three to six months to remove built-up dirt and allergens. If you have allergies, consider washing them more frequently. Keep in mind that you’ll typically have pillow covers OVER your pillows. These pillow covers will need to be washed more often
Preparing Your Pillows for Washing
Check the Care Label: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Most synthetic and down pillows can be machine washed, but foam pillows may need to be hand-washed or spot-cleaned.
Remove Pillowcases and Protectors: Wash these separately according to their care instructions.
Spot Clean Any Stains: Use a mild detergent to treat any spots before washing.
Washing Your Pillows at Our Laundromat
Our laundromat is equipped with large-capacity, gentle-cycle machines perfect for washing pillows. Here's how to do it:
Select a Gentle Cycle: Use a mild liquid detergent and opt for a gentle wash cycle with warm water. Avoid using too much detergent, as it can be hard to rinse out.
Balance the Load: Wash two pillows at a time to keep the machine balanced and ensure an even clean.
Extra Rinse: Choose an extra rinse option to ensure all the detergent is washed out of the pillows.
Drying Your Pillows
Proper drying is crucial to prevent mold and ensure your pillows come out fluffy.
Low Heat: Use a low-heat setting and consider adding a couple of clean tennis balls to the dryer to help fluff the pillows as they dry.
Fluff Periodically: Every 30 minutes, remove the pillows and fluff them by hand to prevent clumping.
Air Dry: If the weather allows, you can also air dry the pillows outside for a fresh scent. Ensure they're completely dry to prevent mold growth.
