Step 6: Dry Your Pillows Properly
Place the pillows in the dryer with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff them up and prevent clumping. Use a low heat or air-dry setting, and periodically check to avoid overheating. It may take a couple of drying cycles to fully dry thick pillows.
Step 7: Fluff and Air Out
After drying, give your pillows a good fluff by hand to restore their shape. For extra freshness, let them air out in the sun for a few hours — sunlight naturally kills bacteria and helps remove odors.
Tips for Keeping Pillows Fresh Longer:
- Use pillow protectors under your pillowcases to reduce dirt buildup.
- Wash pillowcases weekly and pillows every 3-6 months.
- Replace pillows every 1-2 years depending on wear and support.
Washing your pillows regularly not only brightens them up but also helps maintain your sleep hygiene. Follow these simple steps, and your pillows will be snow-white, fresh, and ready to give you a cozy night’s rest again!
