"I'll be honest: Washing my actual pillows (not just the cases) used to be one of those chores I knew I should be doing, but rarely actually did. As long as my pillows were tucked inside clean pillowcases, I convinced myself they were fine. But that all changed after I came across this article on Apartment Therapy where three popular pillow-washing methods were put to the test."
"The method is surprisingly simple: Machine-wash your pillows using warm water on a delicate cycle, with less detergent than usual, followed by a second rinse. As long as your pillow's care tag allows machine washing, then this gentle warm-water cycle does the heavy lifting for you. The warm water helps break down built-up oils and sweat, the delicate cycle protects the pillow's shape, and the extra rinse ensures no detergent residue is left behind."
Machine-wash pillows in warm water on a delicate cycle, using less detergent than usual and following with a second rinse. Warm water helps break down built-up oils and sweat, the delicate cycle protects the pillow's shape, and the extra rinse ensures no detergent residue remains. After washing, air-dry pillows or use a dryer on a low- or no-heat setting according to the care tag. The process produces noticeably whiter, brighter, and refreshed pillows, removing yellowing and restoring fabric feel. This approach yields superior cleaning results with less effort than hand-washing or cold-water cycles, making pillow care straightforward.
