Even worn-out pillows will smell fresh: one trick for sweat and decrepitude
Even Old Pillows Smell Fresh: One Secret to Preventing Sweat and Brittleness
Tips for washing and caring for pillows for a comfortable sleep Proper care of the pillow is the key to a comfortable sleep and determines the durability of the product. The choice of washing mode directly depends on the filler. For synthetic fillers, a temperature below 40 degrees Celsius is suitable. This is sufficient for effective removal of dirt, and the risk of damage to the filler is minimal. Synthetic materials are resistant to high temperatures, which simplifies the washing process.
Pillows with natural fillings, such as down or feather, require a more careful approach. For this, we recommend using the delicate wash mode for delicate fabrics. The wrong mode can damage the structure of the filling and reduce the quality of the pillow.
The choice of detergent also plays an important role. A mild detergent specially designed for delicate fabrics is best for washing pillows. It effectively removes dirt without damaging the fibers and preserving the natural oils responsible for the shape and elasticity of the pillow. Aggressive detergents can damage both the filler and the covering.
After washing, rinse the pillow thoroughly to remove any detergent residue. If your washing machine has this feature, an extra rinse can be very helpful. This will help prevent skin irritation and allergic reactions. The rotation should be gentle so as not to damage the filling. It is best to use it at low speed or gently squeeze the pad with your hand.
Drying the pillow is an equally important step. The preferred method is to dry it naturally in the open air. This will improve ventilation and remove moisture and unpleasant odors. Natural drying helps to maintain the shape and elasticity of the filler, and also has a disinfecting effect. Do not dry near heating devices, as this may lead to deformation of the pillow. • The first pillows appeared in Mesopotamia and were made of stone. Their main purpose was not to provide comfort, but to protect against insects. • In ancient Egypt, pillows were considered a luxury item, made of expensive materials and mainly used by the nobility at funerals and other events.
