Ingredients:
- Baking soda
- Regular laundry detergent
- Lavender essential oil
First, check your pillows’ care labels to ensure they are machine washable. Add the detergent to the designated compartment, then pour half a cup of baking soda and a few drops of lavender oil directly into the drum. Place two pillows in the machine for balance and run a wash cycle.
To extend the freshness of your pillows, develop some daily habits. Each morning, remove pillowcases, open windows, and allow sunlight to reach your pillows. This helps air out the room and prevent excess moisture and mold growth. If your pillows start looking dull, a steam cleaner can help revitalize them. For a brighter clean, pre-soak them in a mixture of lemon juice, white vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide before machine washing.
