Cleaning Pillows

Most people buy new pillows after so long but apparently mine just felt just right that why ruin getting another one.

I also put pillow covers over them and cleaned them so I just never really cared to clean my pillows.
These aren't the best pictures BUT the one was really dirty....I'm embarrassed to say I think I've had it my whole life, almost 25 years if not, I've had it for a VERY long time.

I decided I might as well at least try cleaning them. WOW they are cleaner, but takes sometime and I don't plan on doing this very often.

Here is the link to someone else's blog about it (coming soon, pinterest wasn't working right)

before: don't mind the cute little foot


I was advised to soak them in the tub for an hour or so first

I used hot water, 1/2 cup - 1 cup of bleach, 1/2 cup of borax and I didn't have powdered dishwasher, just the tab so I cut 2-3 tabs open.

Then we rung them out and put them in the washer on the hottest setting with the same mix and added detergent.

Then we put the pillows in the dryer with two balls a few times to get them really dry.

After =]
It was a success
