Everyone knows this problem: After a while, unsightly yellowish spots appear on pillows. This is completely normal and is usually caused by sweat, skin oils or night creams that penetrate the cover. Regular washing on a gentle cycle is often not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this method, you can make your pillow sparkling white again – completely without aggressive bleach that damages the fibers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBleaching Recipe\u201d for Your Washing Machine
Simply mix the following detergent for a yellowed pillow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 cup regular laundry detergent (powder often works better than liquid detergent)
1 cup powdered dishwashing detergent (the ultimate secret weapon against grease and protein stains)
1\/2 cup baking soda or baking powder (neutralizes odors and naturally brightens)
Detailed instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soaking: Pre-treat.
Place the pillow in the washing machine drum and add the above mixture directly to it. If your washing machine has a \u201cpre-soak\u201d function, activate it before the main wash. Alternatively, pre-soak the pillow in a tub of hot water and the mixture for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hot wash: 60\u00b0C program.
Select the delicate or cotton program at 60\u00b0C. The high temperature is important so that the detergent can fully utilize its grease-removing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extra rinse: Remove residue.
Run an extra rinse after washing. This ensures that all traces of intensive cleaning agents are completely rinsed out of deep down or synthetic fibers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dryer secret: Restore volume.
Place the pillow in the dryer along with 2-3 clean tennis balls (or dryer balls). The balls continuously fluff the pillow during drying, preventing the filling from clumping and restoring its fluffiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important for down pillows: Make sure the pillow is completely dry after drying. If it still feels slightly musty after drying, there is residual moisture inside. This can lead to mold. It is best to let it dry in the dryer for a while longer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
