Have you noticed that your pillows are gradually losing their pristine whiteness and turning pale yellow? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! This phenomenon is common… but not inevitable. So, should you change everything, or can you revive their shine? The answer might surprise you.
Where do these ugly yellow spots come from?
The number one culprit: sweating during the night . Yes, even when sleeping peacefully, our body continues to regulate its temperature… and this often involves a few drops of sweat. As a result, the fibers of the pillow gradually become impregnated, forming those famous yellow halos that dull everything.
But that’s not all: saliva, sebum, dust and other particles also settle there over time. And behind these stains, sometimes hide not-so-glamorous little guests like dust mites or certain bacteria , fond of humidity and heat. Not ideal for a peaceful sleep, is it?
Should you throw away a yellowed pillow?
Not necessarily! If it’s still in good condition (not flattened, not deformed, not too old), there’s no need to replace it. A good maintenance routine and a few natural tips can be enough to give it a new lease of life. In fact, cleaning it every month is more than enough to keep your pillows clean, fresh, and comfortable.
