How to Clean and Wash a Pillow: A Step-by-Step Guide

Your pillow is home to more than just sweet dreams—it can also collect dust, oils, and allergens over time. That’s why it’s essential to clean your pillow regularly to maintain hygiene and extend its lifespan. Here’s how to do it properly—and why Donahöna pillows make the process easier.

1. Check the Care Label

Always start by reading the manufacturer’s care label. Some pillows are machine washable, while others, like memory foam or latex, need special care.

2. How to Wash Machine-Washable Pillows

(Perfect for down, feather, and synthetic-filled pillows.)

Steps:

• Remove Pillowcase: Wash separately.

• Use a Front-Loading Washer: This prevents damage to the pillow.

• Wash Two Pillows at Once: To balance the load.

• Gentle Cycle + Mild Detergent: Use warm water and skip fabric softeners.

• Extra Rinse: Ensures no detergent residue is left behind.

3. Drying Your Pillow

• Tumble Dry on Low Heat: Add dryer balls or tennis balls to help fluff.

• Air Dry Option: Sunlight naturally disinfects and freshens.

4. For Foam or Latex Pillows

These should not go in the washer.

Steps:

• Spot Clean: Use a mild detergent with a damp cloth.

• Deodorize: Sprinkle baking soda, let sit, and vacuum.

• Air Dry Completely: Never use heat or wring them out.
