When changing my bedding, I started to notice the "yellowing" on my pillows when I took off the pillow cases.
It turns out it is a combo of sweat, salvia, oils and all sorts of gross things our bodies do at night. It is especially noticeable on the pillows. Note: My pillows are the foamed filled ones.
I found two ways that work, it all depends on how big an area you are trying to clean.
If you have a smaller spot, or are willing to using some elbow grease, this homemade formula works super well with a tooth brush.
Homemade Pillow Cleaner
Equal parts:
Dawn dish soap
Hydrogen Peroxide
Mix together and with a clean tooth brush, and circular motion, attack the stain. Then rinse or wash the pillow in machine.
Best way if Bigger Yellow Areas
oxi-clean (the powder worked best for me)
Washing Machine
Method:
1. Put a good helping of oxi-clean in the washing machine.
2. Put machine on a "soak" setting for between 2-4 hours or even overnight if bad.
3. Then fill machine with "hot water" setting and your favorite detergent.
4. Wash as normal
5. Dry in dryer
The stains were gone. I had one bad pillow that I did a repeat of the process, but the other 3 came out super white and clean. I washed all 4 pillows together.
I feel better using them, and there was no need to throw them out!
Pillows can get expensive!
Hope this helps!
Have a wonderful day.
