The right time to wash pillows to keep them fresh

In the case of covers (pillowcases and covers), you should wash them once a week. This is the part that gets the most dirty, because it is in direct contact with hair and sweat.

Indoor cushions can be washed every 6 months, or more frequently if you sweat a lot, eat in bed, or live with pets. In this case, wash them 4 times a year. Apply the same rule to decorative pillows.

Wash the pillows well

You can wash the pillowcases with the sheets in the washing machine, using a 40 or 60 degree cycle. These are the washing techniques for pillows, depending on the filling material:

Hollow fibers with anti-mite and antibacterial properties can be machine washed at high temperature. However, opt for a gentle wash cycle and air dry.
For latex and memory foam pillows, machine wash the cover following label instructions.
For feather pillows, wash them in duo with less detergent. Opt for a cold wash cycle and dry them on a horizontal surface.
For natural pillows, opt for dry cleaning.
Lastly, polyester cushions should be washed in warm water with a mild detergent.
