Great tips. I must say though as someone who specializes in cleaning of all types(50 years experience), I'd HIGHLY suggest using as warm of water as possible in a washing machine in order to kills germs, bacteria, dust mites, or mites of Any kind. If your water heater is set Too high (where it could melt man made material), i suggest temporarily turning that thermostat down and wash ALL bedding at the SAME time. It doesn't help much to wash pillows, yet put them on bedding that still has pollen, dander, mites, etc that spreads back to the pillows. Also, if you have a machine that has a Delicate setting, use that at the longest time possible. I also use a Prewash cycle first, to get rid of the "gross-ness", instead of having bedding Soaking in the yuk for that Lonnng Delicate cycle. I put a tiny amount of bleach in the prewash to kill the germs and bacteria. I know pillows "say" no bleach, but I've done it for years and have REvived every pillow I've ever owned. (they're STILL alive)😏 OxyClean is also a grrreat product to throw in WITH an UNSCENTED detergent. Trust me, don't use scented detergents on bedding and pillows. You're breathing those chemicals in for Hours while you sleep, and your skin is Absorbing them. Bedding is the One type f laundry to go dye-Free, scent-free for a healthy life.😊

I'm having a baby soon and realized how often my skin is in contact with dyes and chemicals when I switched laundry soap for the baby clothes. So now I'm switching for EVERYTHING. If you are concerned about your bedding because you sleep on those chemicals all night, you also need to remember you wear those chemicals ALL day.

That's bcuz peroxide actually breaks down the blood cells and chlorine bleach doesn't break it down completely, altho it'll still bleach it. But peroxide truly gets rid of it. Fun fact: this is why luminol is still able to see blood stains that a criminal tried to bleach away with chlorine bleach. If a criminal were to use peroxide instead, the luminol won't light up bcuz it's already been broken down. Plus there's no bleach smell left behind to raise suspicion! Thank goodness most of them are clueless to this! Anyway, that was my weird little 2 cents! 😊

That would do the trick. I've been using two pillow cases for ages, mostly for allergens but also to reduce oils getting down past the single cover and into the pillow.

I always use 2 pillow slips so pillows dont get dirty. When i wash the pillows i hang them out in the sun .Warm water dissolves any grease on them and removes smells Australian summer sun dries quickly

Sun drying pillows is the best! Kills germs too!

Good to know about the machine settings for pillows as well. I love dryer balls. They really cut drying time and I sometimes will add a drop or two of lavender essential oil to them before drying.

Thank you for mentioning the extra rinse. It should also be standard to use an extra rinse for all loads washed in a high efficiency washer.

I wash all my pillows on extra high water temp and high dryer heat. Our down and plastic filled pillows were washed at least monthly and have responded well. And always after a cold or illness.

I thought the plastic/rubber would melt. 🤔 Before dryer balls, I'd throw a dry towel or some dry clothes in to make everything dry faster. Still do it sometimes and it works well. Doesn't do anything for wrinkles though. 😊

After airing the memory foam out, put them in a freezer (not mushed up) for 4-6hrs. Let them reach room temp (~1hr) before using them. The memory foam responds well to the freeze cycle. Most down feather pillows can be washed with care. I used to get them reticked until I learned that.

I washed one of the foam pillows that is all chopped up. It was before I knew there was such a thing. I almost couldn't get it out of the washer because it absorbed so much water.

Peroxide is amazing! I had a long time coffee stain on the white pillowcase that was taken into the couch. A little peroxide and I used a little bit of baking soda. Voilà! Perfect. And dryer balls! I never ever ever use dryer sheets ever never will again! I have a ton of them am I clothes come out so beautifully soft. I have so many because I take my blankets and comforters to the laundromat. I put about five or more in each of the dryers that I use and it always works out perfectly.

My pillows are down. No problems washing or drying, as long as I run at least 2 cycles for the dryer. I've tried many other types of pillows, but this is what works for me.

Yes that is why I always bought so much hydrogen peroxide because I feel like it cleans better than using constant bleach and things like that in a little bit more harmful also to breathe in so my main go to was hydrogen peroxide.

I use tennis balls & the fluff your down coats,as well as your pillows.

Can you use the peroxide spray on the mattress too?

Water-proof pillow covers!

I washed my memory foam pillow. Took a week to dry fully but it worked.

Gods I need some good pillows for real. Those look so nice and sturdy. Mine are all lumps and nothing else.

I always wonder what they're thinking when they're rescued. It must have been a relief for her when you wrapped her up and tucked her into the incubator with all the plushies. Like, "OK, she's not going to eat me, so I guess I'll get some sleep." Poor little mite.

Any advice for dusting and keeping pet hair to a minimal? My apartment gets very dusty which is fine because I know some of it is because I keep the windows open for airflow and stuff. But my place has cat hair almost everywhere. I find it in food at times even when I know I have washed my hands and utensils really well. I try to Swiffer from time to time, I brush her from time to time, but I do laundry and cat hair on everything. Cat hair in our hair. Cat hair on the mattress. Cat hair and dust on shelf's and under furniture. I don't know if I am cleaning effectively. I also don't know how to reduce her shedding because I can't afford grooming or expensive pet cleaning tools like the pet vacuum, etc.

I have a rabbit and dog-dog is year round, rabbit is a bit less year round with insane shedding right now. I brush them weekly outside, sweep and mop at least 2x a week. I might try washing the dog more frequently and researching a lower shed shampoo, if available. More frequent cleaning and trying to find safe solutions for the pets is all I have. Had a relatively basic roomba for a few years to assist-not to replace sweeping or vacuum-it helped a bit but was constantly getting caught on things. My sister did have the Dyson pet version vacuum (dogs and cats) and wasn’t impressed

Or take them to a laudromat and put several in one of those giant big boy machines that does 4 or 5 loads of laundry at the same time. (I suggest taking them home to dry as those dryers are too hot no matter what setting. I'm also taking my king size-oversized quilt to one as well. (If you're skittish about germs, wipe the inside of the machine with alcohol before laundering.) Prevents wear and tear of your washer and really gets the items moving around in the water and cleaned.

I wash my pillowcase once a week and i keep a pillow protector on my pillow to keep it from absorbing sweat as much as possible. Even then I leave my pillows outside to air three or four times a year just to make sure they aren’t holding on to moisture. My one non memory foam pillow gets washed twice a year, and aired with the rest. After 6-8 years they get replaced. They usually seem ok at their retirement if a bit flat, but still. After 6-8 years im giving it the side eye, not too sure what alls growing in there. Especially the non washable foam ones.

I wash the pillow I use regularly and have a allergy proof cover on it plus the pillow case. My hubby has a bamboo pillow and the cover doesn’t come of so I spot clean it and put it in the sun. 2 covers on his lol

How do I do this in my shared laundry space in my condo with no outdoor space please? Love this video! Thank you!

Avoid all of this by buying a removable pillow cover that goes under the pillow case, & can be removed & washed.
