Usually most of us focus on washing their clothes and dishes almost daily, while there are some things that we use daily and need to be cleaned but we ignore them: such as makeup brushes, gloves, ventilation holes, and something else is pillows.



It is recommended to wash the pillows in the washing machine at least twice during the year, especially if you live in an area with a warm and humid climate, to remove unpleasant odors caused by night sweats, as well as to kill mites and dust accumulated inside them.For people living in the tropics should wash their pillows once Every few months because mites reproduce faster in the tropical climate.

Before you put your pillow in the washing machine, make sure it is still usable.If your pillow is made of goose feathers, it is usable for many years.If it is made of synthetic fibers and you feel that these fibers are starting to lump and become flat, you may need to buy a new pillow. Make sure that your pillow is still usable, whether it is made of feathers or synthetic fibers.Place it on a hard surface and fold it to get the air out.If it bounces, it is still good.If it stays folded, it means it’s time to get rid of it.

Once you have confirmed that your pillow is fit for use, you can now put it in the washing machine, but we recommend that you use the front slot washer because if you use the top slot washer your pillow will probably float to the surface and will not be washed well.
