How to maintain pillows?

To extend the life of your pillows and prevent them from yellowing, you must take the right steps to maintain them. To do this, it is advisable to remove the pillowcases every morning and open the bedroom windows, making sure to expose the pillows to the sun. This simple gesture helps to ventilate the bedroom and prevent excess humidity and the risk of mold in the bedding. Additionally, if your pillows are dull, you can use a steam cleaner to revive their shine. Finally, before putting them in the washing machine, you can soak your pillows in a basin filled with lemon juice, white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide to restore their former whiteness.
