How to wash a pillow at home. Is it possible to wash the pillow in the washing machine. How to wash pillows with pillows, downy, bamboo, from Hollofiber

The theme of cleaning of the pillows is very relevant recently, because, as neatly, do not treat them, and dust and garbage accumulates in them over time. Yes, if you look inside the pillow, still donated by your grandmother, you can find extraneous objects (for example, needles). As well as sweat and particles of your skin, after a while, will go to all contents. Therefore, pillows are not only possible, but you need to regularly clean. But how to do it correctly, we will consider.

Is it possible to wash the pillows in a washing machine?

The easiest and most reliable way to clean the pillow is to hand it over in a special atelier for chemical cleaning. But there are reasons (high price or personal beliefs) when there is no desire to give the pillow into dry cleaning. We have pleasant news - the washing of pillows (but not cleaning them) can be carried out at home. And a logical question arises - is it possible to wash the pillows in the typewriter? We will immediately give a positive answer, but we will look in detail a little later.

It is worth noting right away that the pillows are divided into several types by their filler.

1. Pillows with natural filler. This is all known and beloved pillows to us:
   • feathers;
   • down;
   • as well as bamboo;
   • and, of course, woolen products (as a rule, it is sheep or camel wool);
   • this also includes cotton pillows;
   • and silk.
2. Recently popular pillows with artificial filler. By the way, there are a lot of diversity. This:
   • non -woven and fireelon;
   • silicone and synthetic winterizer;
   • campford and holofiber;
   • and for many, they love - a pillow of anti -stress.
3. Pillows with organic fillers. More often use:
   • buckwheat shell;
   • berry bones;
   • flax seeds;
   • straw and similar.
4. And, of course, one cannot fail to note orthopedic pillows. Especially it should be highlighted:
   • hard orthopedic pillows;
   • and "with the effect of memory."

Now, in the era of machines, an automatic machine, the task is greatly simplified. Therefore, the answer to the question - is it possible to wash the pillows in the machine, only one - yes. But there are small exceptions in this matter - not all pillows can be subjected to machine or even manual washing.

What pillows cannot be washed in a washing machine?

• Of course, this applies to all orthopedic bedding. Regardless of whether they have a “memory effect” or are simply stringent products.
• Some natural fillers also do not like machine wash - cotton and cotton.
• All pillows with organic fillers (buckwheat husk, seeds, seeds or bones) are not erased at all! Neither in the washing machine, nor hands!

Important! These pillows are simply thrown away after the expiration of the service life. If you decide to clean them, then this can be done only with a gateway. That is, they expanded the seam, took out, for example, buckwheat husk and stretched out the head of their hands (well, or under the most delicate mode). The filler is dried only with sunlight or pumping.

How to wash pillows in a washing machine?

There are two types of washing bedding. And it does not depend on the filler.

• The pillow is erased whole. That is, in a gateway. But do not forget that you need to remove the pillowcase, and the pillow itself needs to be well knocked out of the dust.
• Or in a disassembled state. Yes, this is a more time -consuming process, but better. It is necessary to open the seam, remove all the contents, distribute it in small portions in special bags (or make them yourself from a very dense fabric). After washing and drying, everything is sewn back.

Important! With large pillows, you need to do only by the second method. They then wash and better, are better distributed along the very washing machine and dry faster. And a gateway can be washed in a more rigid mode and bleach or stains can be applied to it.

• You can wash the pillows themselves only with a delicate mode, the temperature of which does not exceed 30-40 ° C. An important requirement is an emergency. It should be no more than 600 revolutions. Otherwise, any filler can be lost or deformed.

Important! Do not use drying pillows. Hot steam will ruin it completely, and it will be intended only for a bin.

• It is advisable to wash with liquid powders, because they are better to get. By the way, additional rinse will not hurt. Do not use bleach - they adversely affect any filler (natural or synthetic). The air conditioners should also be abandoned. It is not completely rinsed, it can cause allergies in some, and there is no preferably too much aroma for sleeping.
• You can place several tennis balls in the washing machine, they will create the effect of “breaking” the filler and will not let it go astray.

And such an important aspect - drying of the pillow.

1. You can dry it only in a horizontal position! It is desirable in the fresh air so that there is air circulation. After all, the pillow will have an unpleasant smell into the rooms even after washing.
2. Ideally, this can be done on a dryer or on linen ropes (just make sure that the pillow does not fall). It is undesirable to dry on the table, since there will be stagnation of air, and the water will simply run down, which only extends the drying period.
3. Be sure to turn over and periodically beat the pillow. This is necessary so that the filler does not turn into one lump and does not shorten. By the way, he will dry out then faster and evenly.

How to wash feathers and down pillows?

Fright pillows have not been losing their popularity for many years. Yes, they are convenient, elastic (precisely because of the presence of a pen), light and, at the same time, voluminous. Their most important advantage is the ability to keep the form (and this is the merit of fluff). They are perfectly adjusted to the shape of a person’s head, but do not cake. By the way, they absorb sweat perfectly, and the air is remarkably passed.

Important! More often pillows are made from the composition of fluff and pen. They have approximately the same abilities and qualities. And in matters of care, feathers or down pillows are no different. Most often made from ducks and geese, less often - from GAG and swans. The more fluff, the softer the pillow, but its price is higher.

To wash a feathers or down pillow.

• If it is small dimensions, then you can safely send it to the machine. But medium and large sizes of the pillow should be washed only in disassembled form. Firstly, it may not fit the drum. And secondly, the feather will get into whom it will dry out badly (and as a result, this is a rotten smell of feathers).
• Yes, a little painstaking work, since you need to first tear out the seam (and they, as a rule, are very carefully sutured). Featers need to be poured into a dry pelvis.

By the way! Be sure to keep in mind that fluff and feathers tend to rise in the air and fly around the room. Therefore, this procedure needs to be done in a closed room in which there will be no equipment, pets and children. Yes, and the furniture will be the minimum amount, because after the whole room you will need to be thoroughly washed.

• Divide the fluff into the bags. Choose their number yourself. The main thing is to remember, the less feathers in the bag, the better it extends, is rolled and, of course, dries. But it is also not necessary to add up on Zhmen either.

Small advice! Backs for washing can be done independently. But a very dense fabric is required, for example, tick or something like that. And, preferably, make all the seams with a machine stitch! No matter how hard you try, but you can't sew your hands so tightly. Everyone knows that feathers love to fly even to tiny holes.

• Some take old pillowcases for these purposes. It's wrong! Pillowcases are made with a completely different fabric, even two or three layers will not save the situation. And the fluff can easily score a washing machine, but the pen itself can get stuck in the drum. And all this will lead to both unheated pillows and a breakdown of the machine.
• After all the fluff is placed in your bags, thoroughly ease the seam. If you do it manually, then go several times and make the stitches yourself small. In special bags, a snake is intended for such purposes. As an option, you can still tie it on the knot (this is only if the bag itself is large). But you need to do this very tight.
• They laid out all the bags with a pen evenly on the drum of the washing machine, flooded their favorite remedy. We chose a delicate laundry mode (every washing machine has). The temperature in it is not higher than 40 ° C (you can choose less).
• For such pillows, be sure to use double rinsing! Some cars have a “fluff” washing mode. That is, it is for washing down products - so it is perfect.

And another recommendation! If you decide to wash the filler in one bag, then throw a few more towels into the drum. Thus, the drum will receive an uniform load.

• And recall that for pillows (especially with such a filler) you need to choose a minimum number of revolutions. Also, so that the fluff does not stray in whom, you can use tennis balls (we mentioned them above).

But to wash the fluid filler in the washing machine is only a half of business. Correct drying also plays an important role.

• Picking or down pillow is dried only in the fresh air and in the sun!
• Moreover, the bags are hung in one edge. Not put on the surface. And be sure every few hours to move the feathers and mix. So that there is no stagnation of moisture and air. This can lead to the appearance of an unpleasant odor, mold and even the formation of the feathers themselves.
• Drying itself takes 2-3 days. Of course, now we are talking about sunny and warm weather. After the feathers have dried up well, the fun process begins again - put the fluff back in the back of the way. By the way, with a great desire, it can be replaced with a new one. And in conclusion, it remains only to sew everything well.

It is impossible not to note one important negative side - the appearance of dust ticks and fungi in feather pillows, which provoke allergic reactions.

1. The main criterion of feathers of pillows is regular cleaning. It is necessary to wash the filler (and the pillow itself) at least once a year. And even better - 2 times.
2. To avoid the appearance of ticks, and, in general, to achieve a disinfectant effect, add a few drops of essential oil when washing. Excellent options will be orange, cypress and lavender. Only no more than 5 drops. After all, a pungent smell can worsen sleep and cause a headache.
3. If there is a steamer at home (or an iron with a vertical steam), then even after washing it will not hurt to go through. To do this, pull the pillow in an upright position and pass the steamer of all sides.

Is it possible to wash the pillows of bamboo?

Bamboo filler refers to natural materials. Moreover, the bamboo pillow is hypoallergenic, so even asthmatics can be used. Such a pillow perfectly holds the shape, and in terms of wear time it has no equal opponents. Do bamboo pillows are erased? Undoubtedly! Moreover, she is not afraid of even washing machines. And in comparison with its competitor in popularity - a pillow (or down) pillow, it dries very quickly.

Important! They have one “secret ingredient” - Bamboo Kun. It not only does not allow microbes and fungi to breed, but also acts as an antiseptic against bacteria and remarkably absorbs smells!

How to wash a bamboo pillow?

In principle, washing such pillows is no more difficult than feather. To some extent, even easier. The technology is very similar, but there are some differences.

• The first thing to highlight is the opportunity to wash the entire pillow. No, if you have a overall pillow, and it is poorly placed in the drum of the machine, then you need to put the filler separately in the bags.
• The procedure itself is similar, so we will not be repeated. Another difference is that the bag material is not so demanding on density as for feathers.
• If the department is intact, and the pillow fits perfectly in the washing machine, then feel free to proceed to the wash. If we talk about the mode, then again the “delicate” mode and “manual washing” are suitable.

• The temperature should also not be above 40 ° C. The powder must only be taken gel -like, since bulk substances may not completely rinse with the tickle of bamboo. Whitening and other aggressive substances under the strict prohibition. They will spoil the pillow.
• You can squeeze in a washing machine, but with the number of revolutions 400-500. It will be even better if you stretch it without spinning. This pillow itself dries quickly, but in the fresh air, and even in the sun. In a wet room, it can also even mold.

By the way! In a wet or wet state, the bamboo pillow is very delicate and sensitive. It can easily break or deform. Therefore, it is better to dry it on a dryer.

Important! It is dried only in a horizontal position. If it occurred to you to hang her for clothespins on a linen rope, then the fibers in these places will simply break.

• You need to wash it at least once every six months (and even better two). Yes, you need to wash a bamboo pillow more often than feathers. But she, repeat, tolerates washing well. It is believed that a bamboo pillow can withstand about 500 washes. And if you do everything right, it will last even longer.

How to wash a down pillow?

We gave all the recommendations above how to wash the pillows of fluff. Therefore, we will not repeat ourselves, because the algorithm of all action is absolutely identical to the feathers. We will only give a few recommendations that your favorite down pillow last for many more years.

1. The pillow must be beaten from time to time. Yes, most of us are used to doing, but solely in order to make it more convenient. In fact, such manipulations are also useful for the pillow itself, then the filler is saturated with air.
2. Take a rule - periodically ventilate the pillows. Yes, take out in the summer to lie down for several hours in the shade or in the winter in the cold. The main condition is a good flow of air, but not during a strong wind. You need to do this once a month.
3. An ordinary dusting knuckle is suitable for pillows. Each time you change bedding, knock out a pillow from dust. The main thing is to do it on the street!
4. If the pillows are not used for a long time, we are used to licking them tightly into a plastic bag so that dirt does not appear and dust does not settle. This cannot be done! The pillow of fluff should breathe! Therefore, leave it just in a pure depfront.
5. So that the chipper itself is not so much polluted, put on an additional pillowcase (you can from a thin chintz).

As well as some tips, when it is time to replace the pillow with a new one:

• The filler rolled up, and formed inside a lump, which is difficult to break.
• Or, conversely, the pillow lost shape and became too soft.
• After sleep, the neck or even the head hurt.

By the way! Recall that the height of the pillow should be equal to the width of the shoulder. That is, the head should have 90 ° with the neck.

• An unpleasant smell from the pillow is an important signal.
• And another bell is dandruff. Yes, the development of pathogenic microbes can provoke such an ailment.

How to wash pillows from Hollofiber?

Synthetic products are a pleasure to wash. Even with your hands. They are perfectly washed, and dry incredibly quickly. No, they can also be washed in a washing machine. Moreover, they fit perfectly into the drum and you can wash even 2-3 pillows in one cycle. Naturally, depending on the size.

Important! The filler can be of different quality. To check whether it is possible to wash the pillows from Hollofiber, make a small test. Put a heavy object in the center (just not a ten -kilogram weight), but after a few minutes, remove it. If the dent is immediately disappeared, then feel free to run. If the dent remains, then this pillow is not intended for washing. Otherwise, it will simply lose its shape and structure.

• It can be washed in a collected state. Again, if you have a small volume of a machine or a large pillow, then the filler must be removed and evenly laid out in the bags.
• The washing mode is only “delicate” and “synthetic”. The temperature, of course, is not higher than 40 ° C. Otherwise, the fibers may be damaged.
• In no case can you use bulk powders or bleach. They very adversely affect the structure of Hollofiber. Only gel -shaped powders are allowed.

• Such a pillow cannot be squeezed! After spinning in the washing machine, you can just get porridge of lumps. And the pillow will cease to be suitable for sleeping. You can’t twist the pillow with your hands. Any gross manipulations can lead to creases and compaction of the filler itself.
• To dry such a pillow, it just needs to be placed in a horizontal position, with the possibility of water flow. Therefore, provide for the opportunity to put a pelvis. Drying conditions are the same as for other pillows - this is the sun and fresh air. In general, Hollofiber does not absorb moisture, and therefore dries in a very short time.

Important! But you can wash such pillows no more than 1 time per year. In principle, they do not need this, because they do not absorb sweat or moisture, dust mites do not start in them and dust does not accumulate.

• And we will give one small advice - do not try to wash pillows with tennis balls, as in the case of feathers. In this situation, the balls will play a reverse role. They will not prevent the formation of lumps, but simply damage the structure of Hollofayber.

Is it possible to wash the anti -stress pillow?

The answer will be immediately positive. But there are some nuances that depend on the filler. Most often use polystyrene balls. These pillows can be washed with your hands and in a washing machine. If in the pillow, buckwheat husk or flax seeds are used as a filler, then only the cover itself can be washed. Yes, in this case, the filler is simply removed, dried, and then falls asleep into place.

• Antistress should be washed only in a collected pillow. And adding an additionally dense bag or cover. If there is even a tiny hole, then the balls will score a machine filter and cause its breakdown.

Important! If you decide to remove the filler from the cover, then you can wash it only with your hands!

• The regime, as always, can only be taken “delicate” and with a temperature not higher than 40 ° C. They, as a rule, are made with such a material that is very easily washed. But if there are spots, then first you need to wash them.
• You can’t squeeze an anti -stress to squeeze! Balls can be damaged (and even worse it will be if the cover breaks through). And, in principle, the filler does not absorb moisture, and therefore does not need an exalted.
• From powders, you can also use only liquid, and you need to abandon the bleaching (even if there are stains).

• They must also dry them a little peculiar. Yes, they dry in a horizontal position, but wrapped in a terry towel (so that moisture is absorbed). And do not forget to periodically turn over and move the filler so that the water leaves evenly.
• The room should be well ventilated, but it is better to avoid sunlight. By the way, drying on batteries is not the best option for such pillows.
• You need to wash them very often-every 3-6 months. And children's pillows of such a plan are once every 30 days.
• And a little advice - you can safely add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, both with washing and even after it.

You need to wash the pillow separately from other objects! Even if there is still a lot of space in the washing machine.
