2. Place the Pillow in a Bag

Put your pillow into the large plastic bag or a zippered pillowcase. Sprinkle in the dry-cleaning powder, seal the bag, and shake well to distribute the powder evenly over the pillow.

Let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. During this time, the powder will work its magic by absorbing odors and surface residue.

3. Vacuum It Clean

Remove the pillow from the bag and use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum to remove all traces of the powder. Pay special attention to seams and corners where powder may settle.

If you don’t have a vacuum, you can brush off the powder gently with a clean, dry cloth or soft brush.

🌟 Bonus Tip: Sun & Air It Out

After dry-cleaning, if weather permits, place your pillow outside in the sun for a few hours. The UV rays help to naturally sanitize and brighten the fabric, and fresh air adds to the cleanliness!

❗ A Few Extra Tips:

  • For stubborn yellow stains, spot-clean the area with a damp cloth and a paste made from baking soda and a bit of water. Let it dry and vacuum off.
  • Avoid over-wetting foam pillows, which can retain moisture and become musty or moldy.
  • This dry-cleaning method is ideal for weekly or monthly refreshes between deep cleans.
