Spotless white pillows, no washing machine needed: grandmothers’ dry cleaning method

Talcum powder, another valid remedy against stains

A second remedy features talcum powder, which since ancient times has been used to soothe redness on children’s skin, to counteract irritation, sweat, and to dry out skin moisture. In the same way and  due to the same absorbent properties,  it is capable of absorbing grease from the cushions and eliminating all stains.

Simply sprinkle the pillow with talcum powder and  let it sit for a few hours,  then in the same way as with baking soda, use a brush to remove excess dust or a vacuum cleaner, which is undoubtedly more comfortable.

How to use vinegar and other natural products that we have at home

These two remedies are accompanied by vinegar,  which refreshes and eliminates bad odors from the pillow quickly. Then you pour vinegar into a bucket of water, then dip a cloth in the solution, wring it well because it should not be wet at all.

To the solution obtained, you can add a few drops of essential oil of your choice among various fragrances. Orange, tangerine, lavender are indicated, which also help you relax and sleep. Then  wipe the damp cloth over the pillow  and then let it dry in the sun or air.

You can’t miss  lemon and salt  , which have an incredible stain-removing cleaning action on all fabrics. In fact, lemon was once used to revive the natural whiteness of clothes, while salt is known for its great degreasing and antibacterial properties. Then, the two products are mixed until you obtain a paste that is sprinkled directly on the pillow, in small quantities.

Particular attention is paid to where there are stains  with a damp cloth. Let it work for an hour. Once the necessary time has passed, it can be removed with a dry cloth or, failing that, a clean cloth. Eventually, the pillow will look like it was freshly washed or just purchased.

Marseille soap

The last remedy for white, stain-free pillows  is the use of Marseille soap.

You only need to pour a glass into a liter of warm water.  Soak a cloth  in the solution, squeeze it very well and rub it on the pillow. Then let it dry, the pillows will be perfect.
