Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Check the Care Label

Before cleaning, check your pillow’s care label for specific washing instructions. Most synthetic and down pillows are machine-washable, while memory foam pillows are best spot-cleaned as they may lose shape in the wash.

Step 2: Pre-Treat Stains

If there are visible stains, you can pre-treat them before washing:

Make a paste of baking soda and a little water. Apply it to stained areas and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth, then rinse with water.
