Your pillow—that soft, seemingly innocent thing that gently supports your head every night—holds more secrets than you might think. If you've ever wondered how your once-snow-white pillow is now subtly yellowish (or not so subtly, anyway), let us tell you: you're not alone. How to wash your pillow?

If you've ever looked at your pillows and wondered if it's normal for them to look like they've been spilt with tea, you're not alone. Yellow stains, a musty smell, and that tired look that makes you feel like you're sleeping on an old piece of foam from a garage sale are all the result of daily use, sweat, and not washing them thoroughly. And even if you wash them regularly with a regular detergent, you're probably not happy with the results.
The pillow that was once sparkling white is now suspiciously yellowish? Breathe easy – we are not at a CSI crime scene, but in front of a washing machine. And we have a solution. The pillow is that everyday companion of your sleep, which calmly and quietly carries all your night sweats, tears, face creams and crumbs from “just one more piece of chocolate before bed”. Over the years, however, it loses its original magical whiteness and turns into a silent reminder that it is time – time for a general cleaning.
If you looked at your pillowcase the last time you changed your sheets and thought it was once white, you’re not alone. Pillows are often overlooked heroes of the bedroom – loyal companions to your sleep, but over time they become a collection point for everything that shouldn’t be in contact with your skin. Sweat, grease, dust, makeup residue and microscopic guests who prefer to remain unmentioned slowly discolor the fabric and reduce its freshness. And while it may seem inevitable that your pillow will turn yellow, there’s a completely natural way to restore it to that sparkling white without harsh chemicals or expensive cleaners.
Stains on pillows are a common problem faced by many households. Sweat, grease and other stains can accumulate over time, causing pillows to lose their freshness. Although washing pillows in the washing machine with washing powder is a common practice, there are other simple and effective ways to get rid of stains without having to use harsh detergents.
Bedding hygiene is also essential for better sleep. You won't believe how quickly our pillow can turn into a breeding ground for bacteria if you don't wash the pillow cover often enough.
