Place two pillows in the washing machine to keep the load balanced.
Add:
- Warm water
- A mild laundry detergent
- ½ cup of Baking Soda to remove odors
- ½ cup of White Vinegar to break down buildup
Run a gentle or normal cycle.
☀️ 3️⃣ Dry Them Completely
Proper drying is important to prevent mildew.
You can:
- Use a dryer on low heat
- Add a couple of clean tennis balls or dryer balls to fluff the pillows
- Or place them outside in direct sunlight for natural freshness
Sunlight also helps kill odor-causing bacteria.
🌿 4️⃣ Make Them Smell Fresh
After drying, lightly mist the pillows with water mixed with a few drops of essential oil such as:
- Lavender
- Lemon
- Eucalyptus
This leaves your pillows clean, fluffy, and pleasantly scented.
