HOW TO WHITEN AND BRIGHTEN YOUR OLD YELLOW PILLOWS



Sure, you can clean your pillowcases once a week or so, but what about your
pillows? Over time, they can turn yellow and stain (and just plain gross). And
when that happens, luckily there’s a way to restore them to their clean, white
glory. One Good Thing by Jillee shares a miraculous laundry bleaching solution
and technique that works like magic on dingy pillows.

It’s a gross topic, but it happens to all of us: we sweat when we sleep. Our
bodies are working to keep us at a comfortable temperature, and that often
requires a little excretion in the process. It’s not very pleasant to think
about, we know.

But think about this. All that sweat, dirt, old makeup and everything else you
can imagine is absorbed by our pillowcases and on our pillows. No wonder they
get so yellow and dingy! They are in desperate need of not only bleaching, but
disinfecting as well.



Jillee’s method is incredibly simple and only requires a few cleaning products,
most of which are probably in your laundry room right now. Here’s what you’ll
need to get started:





MATERIALS

 * Really hot water
 * 1 cup of laundry detergent
 * 1 cup powdered dishwasher detergent
 * 1 cup bleach
 * 1/2 cup Borax


DIRECTIONS

 1. Fill your washing machine about 1/3 full of hot, hot water.
 2. Add your dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, bleach, and Borax.
 3. Turn on the machine and allow the ingredients to dissolve in the water.
 4. Place your pillows in the washing machine (she does two at a time to balance
    the washer). Allow the machine to fill the rest of the way with hot water
    and let it agitate for a few minutes. If you have a top loading washing
    machine, you may need to take the pillows out and turn them over.
 5. Allow the pillows to go throw two rinse cycles.
 6. After both cycles, take them out to dry, which will vary depending on the
    type of pillows you have.

If you have a front loader, Jillee notes that you might not have to take the
pillows out to flip them around halfway through. The only reason she did this
was to make sure the mixture covered the whole pillow, but front loading washers
will be rotating the pillows on their own.

When it comes to drying your pillows, the method will depend on the pillows you
have. Down or feather pillows should be dried on an air cycle, while synthetic
pillows should just be dried on a low-temperature setting. To keep your pillows
nice and fluffy, Jillee suggests using dryer balls. If you don’t have dryer
balls, try wrapping some tennis balls in clean socks and tossing them in with
your load!

Have any of you ever had success with this method?
