When I moved in with BF, all his pillows were brown! A round in the washer with a cup of bleach and they were good as new. He was amazed! Nobody ever taught him to wash pillows. Of concern now I wash them monthly so they don’t get dirty like that anymore.

Hi Jilliee, I am thrilled I found your website. I was wondering if the recipe for the yellow pillows can be used for sheets and using your bleach alternative. Thank you

Hi there. I saved this post as a bookmark last year and yet I’m just now trying it out. However, I used Cascade Complete dishwasher detergent gel because I don’t have the dish powder. But I have a concern. I haven’t added any bleach yet, but I’m reluctant to because I just saw the warning statement on the back of the Cascade jug that includes “Contains enzymes. Do not mix with bleach containing products due to incompatibility.” I wish it was more specific as to what “incompatibility” suggests. Like if that means it’s just less thorough or effective, or is it a chemical clash that is harmful? Because those are two very different things! Lol

Since I already have everything else mixed in, I’m thinking maybe I will just skip the bleach for the first cycle in the wash, and then maybe add bleach for a second cycle before drying. What are your thoughts? And if I do a separate wash cycle for the bleach part, should I add some laundry detergent to that cycle to give the bleach something to mix into and distribute more evenly?

Nice to read your blog, I also write blogs for people, Let me explain the correct process for which www Firstly check your pillow’s label to see if there are any specific cleaning instructions recommended. In general, most types of pillows are machine washable and can be washed using a cool, gentle setting. This goes for those filled with cotton, polyester, down, and feathers.

In reply to Cecelia. Try a chlorine free bleach which uses hydrogen peroxide. Check out your supermarket and they have several that are on the market and they whiten whites very well. I have never tried Persil and will check to see if it is hypoallergenic, as I have sensitive, dry skin.

Will this fluff the pillows? Ours have become quite flat over time

In reply to Jillee.

Jillee, many of your ideas are great, but not this one regarding washing pillows and drying pillows.
Please, just tell your readers to purchase pillow covers. You slip the pillow into the cover and zip it up.
That way they will not damage their washing machines to wash their pillows, or burn up fossil fuel using gas or electricity running their dryer for such a long time to dry the pillows.
