During my research, I discovered the following process and decided to give it a try. The results were so impressive that I wanted to shout it from the rooftops! So that’s what I’m doing today; I’m taking to my virtual rooftop to share the secret to saving your old yellowed pillows. I know you’ll be as impressed with the results as I was! 🙂
You’ll need:
1 cup powdered laundry detergent
1 cup powdered dishwasher detergent
1 cup bleach (or bleach alternative)
1/2 cup borax
Directions:
First, check the tag on your pillow to confirm that it’s washable. Most down and synthetic pillows can be safely washed! Remove the pillow case and pillow protector, if present.
Step 1 – Soak
The first step in the cleaning process is to soak your pillows in hot water. This will give the cleaning ingredients a head-start on dissolving those tough stains! (If you have a top-loading washing machine, you can do the soak right in your washer. For those with front-loading washers, or if your top-loader doesn’t have a soak function, you can do the soak in a separate container or in your bathtub.)
