Every woman always faces the problem of yellowing pillows and tries hard to get rid of this dye that occurs as a result of the accumulation and drying of sweat on the pillows. Thus, the bright white color of the pillows turns yellow and they become old and unpleasant, as well as not washing the pillow. Not washing pillowcases every 5 months is one of the reasons that leads to increased yellowing. Therefore, if you suffer from this matter, follow this article with us to learn how to get rid of the yellowing of pillows and make them white and bright as if they were new.

Here are three different ways to clean yellowing pillows and make them white

First: Clean the pillows from yellowing using a regular washing machine

1 – First remove the pillowcases from the pillows if the pillows are of the type that can separate the pillowcase from the inner filling.

2- Then fill the washing machine with very hot water

3- Then add a cup of the cleaning powder you use with half a cup of borax and a cup of chlorine

4- Then run the washing machine for a few minutes before putting in the pillowcases, then put in the pillowcases. It is preferable to put two at a time to get the best result.

5- Then change the washing machine water again and put the same amounts of powder and also leave it to work for a few minutes before placing the pillowcases. Here, turn the pillowcases over to the other side.

6- After that, rinse the pillowcases, then squeeze and dry them by placing them in the dryer. Thus, you will get bright white pillowcases.

Second: Clean the pillows from yellowing using an automatic washing machine

This result is valid if the pillow is of small size and can be inserted into the automatic washing machine. So, place it in it and set it on the hot water washing program, and it will do its job perfectly and will help you get white and clean pillows.

Third: The manual method

This method is the most important option for you if the pillows are large or the inner filling cannot be separated from the outer bag. You can do it as follows:

Bring a large bowl and fill it with hot water, then add a small amount of the washing liquid that you use to the hot water, then add three tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate to help you get rid of the unpleasant odors in the pillow. Also add half a cup of the bleach that you use in normal washing and leave the pillow. In this mixture for a full half hour, and then start rubbing the pillow vigorously to get rid of the yellowing stuck to the tissues.

If the pillow is the type from which the bag can be removed, this will help you in periodically washing and cleaning the pillows, thus you will not leave them until they acquire a yellow color.

You can also fill a bowl with water and add some liquid soap to it, then dip a cloth in this water and remove the excess water from it, then rub the pillow with it from the outside to the inside.

Here are some general tips:

• It is preferable to wash your pillows 3 times a year.
• Make sure the type of pillow is washable at home, as pillows filled with cotton or fiber are washable at home.
• If the pillows are large and will take a long time for their contents to dry, you can wash their outer surface by hand only due to the difficulty of drying large fillings.
• As for small-sized pillows, it is preferable to wash them using an automatic washing machine, especially pillows made of cotton and fiber.
• If you have some extra pillows and are not currently using them, it is best to store them in a correct way. Wrap it well and put some pieces of soap with it to resist the moth.
