I have completed the task of washing pillows in the past; however, my most recent goal was to not only clean them but also whiten them. The yellowing of our pillows, pillow covers, and mattress pads is caused by the accumulation of body oils, perspiration, and other substances over time. As a consequence of my experimentation with a variety of methods, I would want to share my findings. Another one of my wacky inventions may be found on this page.
Okay, let’s begin with the disclaimer, shall we? My pillows have been cleaned and dried, and as we all know, drying causes stains to become more permanent. As a result, I was aware that I would face certain difficulties before beginning my… Our pillows are like this, and mine is a shade of white that is somewhat off-white to begin with. It is difficult to detect the yellowing stains in this picture, but I assure you that they are there, and you will see more of them in the photographs that are to come… In addition to this, I cleaned the covers of my pillowcases in order to conduct a test to see how well this would work with them, as well as maybe with mattress pads.
The first thing you should do anytime you wash your pillows is to clean two at a time. This will help your washing machine maintain a balanced load. (Look at how yellow they are; it’s revolting.)
The settings – in order to get rid of stains like this, you need to set your temperature to the highest setting you have, the fullest load, and then pick the soak option if you have one. In the event that you do not own a soak, you will be required to load your washing machine with water and then terminate the machine in order to allow it to soak.
As an alternative to bleach, I added one cup of hydrogen peroxide to the mixture for the first time I performed the process.
Vinegar, which is 1/2 cup in volume, is a natural cleaning that also acts as a fabric softener and dissolves down stains.
Note from the Editor: This article discusses the use of vinegar in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide. It is OK to engage in this conduct so long as you do not combine them in the same container (like a bottle), but rather make use of them in sequential order. A corrosive acid known as peracetic acid is produced when hydrogen peroxide and vinegar are combined. This acid has the potential to cause damage to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
And a quarter of a cup of fruit juice. In addition to adding a pleasant lemon scent, lemon juice is acidic, therefore it has the same properties as vinegar.
The pillows should be allowed to soak for thirty minutes, after which they should be flipped to ensure that both sides are saturated for another thirty minutes.
