If sleeping is your favorite hobby, more than soft, fluffy pillows, sound sleep requires clean pillows. Here are some points on how to clean four kinds of pillows, depending on the filling material.
For Cotton
Remove the filling from the case.
Loosen the filling by pulling off the cotton from each other to prevent lumps.
Put under the sun for three to four hours.
Wash the case.
For Foam
Soak in cool water with a small amount of bleach.
Then wash in warm suds by pushing down on pillow, releasing, and pushing down again. (You can also machine-wash pillows on gentle cycle with lukewarm water. Or you can take a damp cloth and wipe the foam to remove the dust, the smell, and the dirt that might have accumulated there).
Rinse the same way and repeatedly, using several changes of lukewarm water.
Gently squeeze or spin out excess water.
Dry by hanging the pillow by one corner on a line, preferably in the sunlight with some air movement.
For Duck Feather
Open a few inches of the seam in opposite corners of the pillow, turn edges in , sew loosely with strong thread, or fasten with safety pins. This will help circulate water through pillow.
Wash in machine or by hand in warm suds for 15 to 20 minutes. Use recommended amount of disinfectant in the wash cycle. If using an automatic washer, do not wash more than two pillows at a time.
Rinse at least three times in clear, warm water.
Dry using spinner/dryer or gently squeezing out as much water as possible. Then put across two or three clotheslines under the sun.
Plump and loosen the feathers to retain old shape and to hasten drying.
For Polyester Fiberfill
Wash by hand in warm water and detergent. Add recommended amount of disinfectant to the wash water. Flush water through pillow by compressing it; twisting and wringing will tear filling.
Change water and repeat as necessary.
Rinse three times in clear, warm water.
Spin off water in machine or press out as much water as possible by hand, and hang on line outdoors in sunshine to dry.
