Wash and whiten used pillows

Before you start washing and whitening your pillows:

• Check the care label to confirm that your pillow (down or synthetic) can be machine washed – most can be.
• Remove the pillow case and any pillow protector

 When we are sleeping our body continues to sweat to keep the body at a comfortable temperature. One of the most common reasons why pillows can turn yellow is sweat. As the sweat dries, it can leave a yellow stain on the pillow. 

There is nothing to embarrassed about and before dumping the pillow and buy the new ones, try washing it and whitening. You will need:

• HOT HOT HOT water

• 1 cup bleach 
• 1/2 cup borax
• Put your machine on the 2nd rinse cycle or just run it through twice manually.
