We make a lot of beds on a daily bases. This prompted me to make this blog.
Here’s a lot of questions that always goes through my head as we are making up these beds….
Should pillows be washed?
Pillows should be washed every 3-6 months. They should be replaced every 1-3 years. You can tell when a pillow needs to be replaced by, folding the pillow in half and if it springs back, it doesn’t need to be replaced.
What happens if you don’t wash a pillow?
Pillows covered with pillowcases ( only) and without pillow protectors can still get a build up of oil, dead skin and bacteria.
Why do pillows turn yellow?
Couple reasons why…. sweat, lotions, oils or wet hair.
Can a pillow make you sick?
Pillows can become a breeding ground for dust mites, allergens bacteria and dead skin. Using a pillow protector helps.
