- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide (3% solution)
- Hot water
- A bathtub, large basin, or laundry tub
- A clean towel (for blotting)
Steps:
- Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
Fill a bathtub, laundry tub, or large basin with hot water. Add the baking soda, white vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide to the water. These ingredients work together to break down oils, stains, and yellowing while lifting grime. - Soak the Pillows:
Place your pillows in the tub or basin and let them soak in the cleaning solution for about 30 minutes to an hour. Gently agitate the pillows in the water to ensure they’re fully submerged and the solution works its magic. - Rinse Thoroughly:
After the soaking period, drain the water and rinse your pillows with clean, cold water to remove the solution and any loosened debris. - Dry the Pillows:
Press out the excess water gently from the pillows—avoid wringing them out as that can damage the stuffing. You can then air dry your pillows by laying them flat in a well-ventilated area, or use a dryer on a low heat setting. If using a dryer, toss in a couple of clean tennis balls wrapped in socks to help fluff the pillows as they dry.
