Pillow Cleaning Melbourne
Pillows are an essential part of our bedding, and they play a vital role in providing us with the comfort and support we need for a good night’s sleep. However, over time, pillows can accumulate dust, dirt, sweat, and dead skin cells, which can lead to allergies, respiratory problems, and other health issues. That is why it is important to clean your pillows regularly, especially if you live in Melbourne, where the weather can be hot and during summer and wet during winter. Pillow Cleaning Melbourne services are often available from your local dry cleaner however try to find one who doesn’t use chemical cleaning techniques.
Cleaning your pillows can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and techniques, you can keep them clean and fresh. Here are some tips to help you clean your pillows effectively:
Check the label: Before you start cleaning your pillows, check the label to see if they are washed or dry cleaned. If they are, you can wash them in the washing machine. If not, you can still clean them using other methods.
Vacuum your pillows: Start by vacuuming your pillows to remove any loose dirt and dust. Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner to get rid of any dirt and dust that may be stuck in the fabric.
Wash your pillows: If your pillows are machine washable, take them to your local dry cleaner or place them in the washing machine and add a mild detergent. Often home use washing machines can be too small to fit your pillows. If you are able to wash them at home then use the gentle cycle and cold water to avoid damaging the fabric. You can also add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to remove any lingering odours.
Dry your pillows: After washing your pillows, put them out to dry or in the dryer on low heat (at own risk). We recommend you to hang them outside to air dry or take them to a professional dry cleaner. Make sure they are completely dry before using them again.
Spot clean stains: If your pillows have stains that won’t come out in the wash, you can spot clean them using a mixture of water and mild detergent. Use a clean cloth to gently rub the stain until it disappears. Your professional dry cleaner should be able to remove most stains and often much of the yellow staining which can appear on your pillows.
Use pillow protectors: To keep your pillows clean for longer, use pillow protectors. These are removable covers that you can wash regularly to keep your pillows fresh.
In conclusion, cleaning your pillows is essential to maintain good hygiene and prevent health issues. With the above tips, you can keep your pillows clean and fresh for a good night’s sleep. Remember to check the label before attempting to wash your pillows and use the appropriate cleaning method to avoid damaging the fabric. Best option can often be to take them to a reputable dry cleaner who has non toxic cleaning options for your pillows.
