How to Wash Pillows (Cleaning Motivation)

Pillows are something we literally have resting against our faces for 6-8 hours each night, so, knowing if your pillow is clean (and how to properly clean a pillow) is pretty important.

I'm a minute in and I want to burn my pillows.

I searched "how to clean bathroom" about a week ago. I got such a buzz out of cleaning my bathroom I have binged watched about 20+ of your vids! Since then I've thoroughly leaned my cooker, currently have vinegar in my kettle and hot wash in my dish washer with vinegar. My bathroom is gleaming and I've got all sorts of new cleaning products, clothes and the infamous "microfiber cloths". what have you done to me?! Lol now I'm about to go wash my pillows 😂

Thank you so much for this video! I have been vacuuming and steaming my pillow periodically but have been experiencing terrible congestion that wakes me up in the night and cuts short my sleep. When I got up in the morning it would take a couple of hours for the congestion to abate but it never went away completely. After watching your video I immediately checked the label on my pillow and threw it in the washing machine. It took about 3 cycles in the dryer to dry it completely. I just got up this morning and have absolutely NO congestion and had the best night sleep I've had in absolutely ages!!!! And it is like a new pillow - soft and fluffy. I can't thank you enough - truly life saving for me!🙌🤗🙏

Thank you for this video. I am bit ashamed but my husband has had his pillow for about 10 years now. When we met he already had it, I put a pillow protector on it but never thought what could be happening inside of it, he didn't have a protector on it before we met so I can only imagine. He is getting a new pillow thanks to you!

You literally gave me motivation to clean them

I bought bamboo pillows a few years ago. Love them. They are a firm pillow not fluffy. The price I paid for them I can’t be tossing them away after a couple of years. . They came with a thick pillow protector which I wash once a month. Will try to locate the washing instruction now that I have seen your video. Thank you. 🇨🇦

We use a pillow case and pillow cover because a pillow case isn’t enough to protect the pillow from nasty stains. I tend to wash the covers and pillow cases with the bed sheets/linens weekly but the pillows tend to get washed every couple of months

The one thing I missed on this video is, how often do you wash your pillows? I usually do sheets/mattress pad weekly, blankets and bedspreads monthly. Where would my pillows fit in? Thank you for your great videos and keep up the good work. I admire those who have the technology to do this because I don't.

I was never taught this one. So glad I found your channel.

[MeMommyEms]

I totally into pillow cleaning! I can’t stand smelly and oily pillows! So I wash them thoroughly.

[WoahStyle]

Also I watch your channel when I'm feeling too lazy to clean. Gives me the motivation to get my butt into gear! LOL

I was just thinking about how to clean pillows and boom here you post your video 😊

[barbarakosloski]

I only use a Down pillow, quilted pillow protector and zippered satin pillow case. I wash the case and protector weekly at home. Every 4 months, I drive to a laundromat to clean the actual pillows using a large washer and dryer. Worth the money and time... plus it's fun hearing the dryer balls bouncing around.

[barbarakosloski]

Thank you for your video's. I have been watching them for years. You provide the best advice on how to clean everything in the home. Thank you.

I have two wool-filled pillows and two memory foam pillows on my bed.
I have pillow protectors on the wool-filled ones and the memory foam pillows came with protectors. They also have a cooling side.
My tip is that when your hair is damp, either from washing or from summer sweat, cover your pillow with a cotton towel folded in half. It protects your pillow from sweat or water stains and is easy to throw in the wash.

[emilynicole]

I wash mine pretty often actually! Once every month or so depending on when I remember to! We love a clean mattress, pillows, sheets, AND duvet. Best feeling ever sliding into bed

I live in the UK, where most people don't have a dryer, and it's always humid. I use pillow protectors and try not to think too hard about whatever gets through that!

[WoahStyle]

THANK YOU for this video! I'm a freak about trying to keep my pillows clean but this is next level. WOOT. thank you!

[marietraon]

Literally watched my pillows right after seeing your video, thank you!

The 52% are currently now on Amazon buying pillows and burning the old ones. 😳 I might be one of them 🤷🏻‍♀️
