Sleeping for everyone is a favorite hobby and a necessity. Having soft fluffy pillows which will cradle you will make the experience all the more enjoyable. More than fluff however, a very sound and good sleep needs clean comfortable kinds of pillows. Pillows should be cleaned 3 to 4 times a year. So many people just buy new pillow covers forgetting that the pillow itself also needs a rinse to be okay for you. The cleaning depends on the materials used to make your pillows. There are many materials used in making a pillow. We have the cotton or “kapok”, foam, and the duck feather. When choosing home décor you should always pay great attention to your choice of materials.
In cleaning the cotton or “kapok”, you have to remove the filing of the case, loosen it by pulling off the cotton from each other to prevent lumps. You should then put it under the sun for 3-4 hours then wash the case. The pillow covers you buy for your home should therefore be a kind that you will be able to wash. For the foam, soak in cool water in a small amount of bleach; wash it in warm suds by pushing down the pillow then gently squeezing the water or spin down the excess water. Dry it by hanging it at the corner line preferably in sunlight with some air movement. For duck feather, open a few inches of the seam in the opposite corner of the pillow. You can wash it in the washing machine or you can decide to wash it by hand in warm suds for 15-20 minutes. Rinse at least 3 times in clean water. Dry it by using a spinner or simply squeeze out the water from it.
