Add 1/2 cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle for extra deodorizing and softness.

Dry completely—preferably in the sun or in the dryer with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help fluff them.

💡 Method 2: Quick Refresh for Light Yellowing

If your pillows just need a refresh and aren’t too far gone:

Toss two pillows into the washing machine (balances the load).
Add 1/2 cup baking soda directly to the drum.
Use a mild detergent and a hot water cycle.
Pour 1/2 cup white vinegar into the fabric softener dispenser.
Dry thoroughly—sunlight helps naturally bleach and deodorize!

🛑 What NOT to Do

❌ Don’t wash foam pillows in a machine—they can disintegrate. Spot-clean only.
❌ Don’t skip drying thoroughly—damp pillows can harbor mold and bacteria.
❌ Avoid overloading the washer—pillow cleaning works best with space to move.

🌞 Bonus Tip: Use the Power of the Sun

After washing, if you can, dry your pillows outside in direct sunlight. UV rays naturally help whiten, disinfect, and deodorize. Plus, there’s nothing like the fresh scent of air-dried bedding!

💤 Final Thoughts

Reviving your yellowed pillows doesn’t have to be a chore or a costly replacement. With just a few common household items and a little time, you can bring your pillows back to clean, fluffy, like-new condition. Clean pillows not only look better—they also support better, healthier sleep.

Try this once every 3–6 months to keep your pillows looking and feeling their best. 😴🧼
