HERE’S HOW TO CLEAN YOUR BED PILLOWS SO THEY STAY WHITE AND SMELL NICE – ONLY POLITE MEMBERS SAY THANK YOU
The Importance of Clean Pillows
Selecting the right pillow, whether you prefer firm or soft, feather-filled, polyester fiber, or latex, is crucial for optimal sleep. However, equally important is keeping your pillow clean. A pillowcase alone isn’t enough to protect your pillow from dirt and yellow sweat stains.
How Often Should You Wash Your Pillows?
Pillows should be cleaned regularly to prevent discoloration. The primary cause of yellowing is sweat secretion during sleep, which creates a damp environment conducive to mites and bacteria growth. While some may throw away their pillows at the first sign of yellow stains, and others believe washing pillowcases suffices, it’s actually recommended to wash your pillows at least every six months. Duvets can be washed annually.
