This yellowing primarily stems from nightly sweat, creating a damp environment ideal for bacteria and mites. While some might dispose of their pillows at the first sight of a stain, others rely solely on pillowcases for protection. The truth? Ideally, pillows should be laundered every six months. Meanwhile, freshen up your duvet annually.\n</p><h3 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>Pillow Revival: A Tried-and-True Cleaning Tip\n<p>Looking for an efficient way to disinfect your pillows and banish germs?

Pour your chosen detergent in the designated drawer, followed by half a cup of baking soda and a few lavender oil drops directly into the drum. Add two pillows for balance and run your wash.\n</p><p>If you want to prolong your pillows\u2019 freshness, adopt good daily habits. Each morning, remove the pillowcases, open up the windows, and let sunlight bathe your pillows. Doing this airs out your room and deters excess moisture and mold growth. And if your pillows look a bit drab? A steam cleaner can spruce them up. For a brighter touch, pre-soak them in a mix of lemon juice, white vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide before a machine wash.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>For people with allergies, maintaining a clean pillow is essential for a comfortable night\u2019s sleep.
