How to Clean Bed Pillows

1. Check the care label on the pillow to determine the appropriate cleaning method. Some pillows can be washed in a machine, while others should be spot cleaned or dry cleaned.
2. For pillows that can be washed in a machine, use a mild detergent and wash on a delicate cycle with warm water. Use two pillows to balance the load in the washing machine.
3. For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent and warm water to gently scrub the stained area. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and allow the pillow to air dry completely.
4. For dry-clean-only pillows, take them to a professional cleaner.
5. Always air out your pillows thoroughly after cleaning, either by laying them outside in the sun or by fluffing them regularly for a few days.
6. If your pillows are feather or down-filled, it's best to have them professionally cleaned as the feathers can easily clump together during washing.
7. Replace your pillows every 1-2 years or when they start to show signs of wear and tear.
