Do you want your pillows to feel fresh and clean? Here are some easy steps to help you wash them the right way!
Before you start, look for a small tag on your pillow. This tag will tell you if you can wash your pillow in a washing machine or if you need to wash it by hand. It’s important to follow these instructions to keep your pillow in good shape.
Choose a gentle soap or detergent to clean your pillows. This helps protect the pillow’s fabric and filling. If you’re using a washing machine, set it to a gentle cycle and use warm water. This will help clean the pillow without causing any damage.
After washing, it’s time to dry your pillows. You can put them in a dryer on a low heat setting. If you prefer, you can also let them air dry outside. Make sure they are completely dry to prevent any mold or mildew from growing inside.
Here are some extra tips to keep your pillows nice and cozy:
Give your pillows a good fluff every now and then. This helps them keep their shape and stay comfortable.
Consider using pillow protectors. They can help keep your pillows clean for longer by protecting them from dust and spills.
Pillows don’t last forever. If your pillow is lumpy or doesn’t feel comfortable anymore, it might be time to get a new one.
By following these steps, you can enjoy fresh and comfy pillows every night. Happy sleeping!
Pillow Detective: At home, become a pillow detective! Find different pillows around your house and check their care labels. Make a list of the different washing instructions you find. Share your findings with your family and discuss why different pillows might have different care instructions. This will help you understand the importance of following care labels.
Soap and Water Experiment: With the help of an adult, try a simple experiment to see how different detergents work. Take two small pieces of fabric and wash one with a gentle soap and the other with a stronger detergent. Compare how they feel after washing. Discuss which one you think would be better for washing pillows and why.
Drying Race: On a sunny day, take a small wet towel and place it outside to air dry. At the same time, put another small wet towel in the dryer on a low heat setting. Check which one dries faster and discuss why. This will help you understand the drying process and why it’s important to make sure pillows are completely dry.
