For this reason, all women in the world would like to always have white, very clean pillows  in their kitchens and bedrooms.

White and spotless pillows, which is why they get dirty quickly.

Obviously washing them every day is impossible, it is not comfortable, especially not in winter, because  with low temperatures they do not dry.  By drying them at home, leaning on heat sources,  you still run the risk of using them or keeping them still damp.  The end result would be bad because eventually the pillows would smell musty  instead of clean  .
