Do you think it is important for your family’s

Do you think it is important for your family’s hygiene to regularly clean blankets and sheets, towels, bed and couch covers? Of course! Pillows also need to be cleaned regularly, at least every six months. That’s because a pillow that hasn’t been cleaned recently contains high amounts of sloughed skin, mold and mildew, fungus, dust mites and dust feces. Nobody wants to sleep on that! Let’s see how we can effectively clean our pillows, depending on their material, and what tricks we can use to keep them clean longer. Cotton and down pillows can be cleaned in various ways. You can hand-wash, machine-wash, or dry-clean them.If you choose hand-wash use a mild detergent instead of soap, as soap may leave residues. Wash gently using warm water, in maximum 40c. Rinse well in cold water squeezing the pillow constantly to ensure that there is no residue left.
