Step-by-Step Process to Whiten Pillows
Check Pillow Care Instructions Before cleaning, ensure your pillows are machine washable. Most pillows made of polyester or cotton blends are safe to wash, but some memory foam pillows require spot cleaning only.
Prepare the Cleaning Solution
Mix ½ cup of baking soda with 1 cup of white vinegar.
Add your regular laundry detergent (about 1 cup) and, if available, a tablespoon of Borax for an extra boost.
Soak the Pillows Fill your washing machine with hot water and dissolve the cleaning mixture. Submerge the yellowed pillows in the water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This loosens the stains and prepares them for a deeper clean.
