Bed Pillows
Have you ever imagined that your bed pillow can actually accumulate weight over the years? Yeah, it sounds a bit weird. But in reality, it is the fault of dust mites and their waste that will make the pillow double in weight! Together with the dead skin that all of us leave behind while we sleep, occasional drooling, our pillows end up not looking as sanitary as they may appear at first glance.
We all know that we have to clean our pillowcases, but some may not know that we should also give the same treatment to our pillows. Thankfully most are washable nowadays and you can have them cleaned by a professional company twice a year!
If you want to do the washing yourself, you can do so with the synthetic ones on a heavy cycle in the washing machine, using a gentle detergent. Afterward, you can dry it at low heat, with a few tennis balls in sports socks to get rid of any deep moisture inside the pillows. Make sure the pillows are fully dry to avoid any mold!
Faithfully, at the end of every month, I run my washing machine with a packet of Tide washing machine cleaner. Surprised this wasn’t included on the list.
These are great tips because we do not think about them until we get sick..Alcohol wipes should be in everyones Xmas stockings to sanitize those screens of the cell phones and remote controls /door knobs etc..
I clean all of those everyday plus my wash machine. I always have cleaned my whole house daily at different time’s I have had up to 7 kid’s in my home so it was important to me to keep everything clean all the time.
