Ingredients and Cleaning Methods

1. Talc:

Talc is an excellent absorbent of moisture and odors. To clean your pillow:

  • Sprinkle talcum powder all over the surface.
  • Let it sit for a few hours to absorb moisture and odors.
  • Remove excess dust with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner for convenience.

2. Vinegar and natural products:

Vinegar is a powerful disinfectant and odor neutralizer. To use:

  • Pour vinegar into a bucket of water.
  • Dampen a cloth in the solution and wring it out well.
  • Add a few drops of orange, tangerine, or lavender essential oil for a fresh and soothing scent.
  • Wipe the surface of the pillow with the damp cloth and let it dry in the sun or air.

3. Lemon and salt:

This combination is a powerful cleaner that removes stains and refreshes fabrics:

  • Mix lemon juice with salt until it forms a thick paste.
  • Apply the paste in small amounts to the stained areas of the pillow.
  • Leave on for an hour.
  • Remove with a dry cloth and, if necessary, wipe with a damp cloth to remove residue.

4. Marseille soap:

Ideal for deep and gentle cleaning:

  • Mix a glass of liquid Marseille soap with a liter of warm water.
  • Dampen a cloth with the solution and wring it out well.
  • Rub the pillow with the cloth to remove dirt.
  • Let air dry completely.

Additional tips:

  • Protect your pillows: Use washable covers to prevent dirt and moisture buildup.
  • Refresh regularly: Sprinkle baking soda or talcum powder once a month and remove it with a vacuum cleaner.
  • Ventilate your pillows: Leave them in the sun periodically to eliminate bacteria and bad odors.

By following these simple methods and tips, you can keep your pillows fresh, white, and stain-free without washing them in the washing machine.
