Here’s how to clean dirty bed pillows to leave them white and smelling sweet

Step 6: Dry completely

Place the pillows in the dryer with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff them. Use low heat for down/feather pillows and medium heat for synthetic. Make sure they’re 100% dry to prevent mildew.

💡 Extra Tips for Sweet-Smelling Success

• Add a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oil to the wash for a natural, relaxing scent.
• Wash pillowcases weekly, and consider using pillow protectors to extend the life of your pillows.
• Let pillows air out in the sun occasionally—sunlight naturally kills bacteria and removes odors.

☁️ Final Thoughts

Washing your pillows might not be top of your to-do list—but once you do it, you’ll notice the difference. Whiter, fresher, and noticeably cleaner pillows can elevate your entire sleep experience.

So next time you fluff your pillow and catch a whiff that’s… not so dreamy, don’t toss it—treat it. Your nose (and neck) will thank you.
