How to clean your pillow and remove yellow stains effectively

The importance of a good pillow for a good rest

Getting good sleep is crucial to maintaining a healthy routine. Finding the right pillow for your neck and rest is essential to achieving this. If your pillow has accumulated yellow stains and lost its original color, don’t worry, we have the solution to make it look like new!

Cleaning tips to remove yellow stains

Pillows can accumulate yellow stains due to saliva and sweat. To clean them, you can use dishwashing liquid with white vinegar or clean them with lemon juice. If that doesn’t work, an enzyme stain remover may be helpful. Before cleaning the pillow, it is important to review the cleaning instructions on the label to avoid possible mistakes.

To remove yellow stains, you can also soak the pillowcase in cold water and bleach, or apply water tempered with ammonia. After applying these remedies, clean the cover with detergent and dry it in the sun to whiten it.

Cleaning the different types of pillows

Each type of pillow requires a specific treatment. Viscoelastic and latex pillows are not machine washable, so it is recommended to clean them with a damp cloth with mild soap. Microfibre cushions, on the other hand, can be washed in the washing machine with a gentle program at 40 °C and a moderate spin. As for the feather pillows, they can also be washed in the washing machine with a program for delicate clothes.
