How To: Wash Your Pillow

Having an old lady moment, so forgive me, but I found this really, really helpful. Germs are icky, so follow these simple steps from CasaSugar to wash your pillows. 

To wash feather and down pillows:

• Fill your sink 3/4 with warm water and a scoop of powdered laundry detergent. 
• Squish your pillow under the water until it's completely soaked, squeezing it gently.
• Then, drain your sink and wring your pillow to squeeze out the water.
• Place your pillow on a towel and roll it up to pull out more water.
• Then, pop it in the dryer with a few clean white towels and dry it on low-moderate heat. If you want, add a tennis ball to make it fluffy.
• Hang it on the line to let it dry completely.

To wash synthetic or foam pillows:

• Machine-wash your pillow on the gentle cycle with powder detergent and warm water.
• Dry on moderate heat with clean towels, as above. 

In the market for new pillows? Overstock has a great selection - it's just silly to get pillows from a place like Bed Bath & Beyond when you can get the same for less. 

And in other news, this is creepy and can be yours for only $28.99.
