A tip for keeping pillows clean: use two pillowcases. This is how I grew up so it is the norm for me, but it is the same concept as using a mattress pad under the sheet. I use older pillowcases underneath and only wash them from time to time and change the top case every week.
I love pillow and mattress protectors for my allergic family! I purchase tightly woven material pillow protectors (allergy kind) and buy them when purchasing any new bed pillows. The protective covers go on immediately before use or after a pillow is washed and dried. It is my understanding that the protectors cut down or practically eliminate dust mites and other allergens that live in our bedding (especially pillows that our faces touch daily.) Also use two pillow cases, which are washed weekly. Or replaced more often if someone is sick. Hanging the dry pillows occasionally in the sun also helps air them out, then toss them in the dryer on air only to fluff them up and also "dusts" them off from any pollen that landed while outside. In my experience, if you use warm/hot dryer setting on unwashed pillows, the stinky rancid hair oil gets baked in. Spraying the pillows with alcohol is also good. Since my family has sensitivities, perfume scents, like Fabreeze isn't a good choice for us. The alcohol works best for the pillows and bedding. Frequent pillow case changes, multi-protectant layers between the original pillow and our faces has helped with allergies. Plus freshly washed pillow cases and sheets are so inviting when you climb into bed. Thanks for your tips!
4:30 For anyone who has difficulty with strong fragrances, I wouldn't recommend using Odo Ban. I personally get headaches and sore throats, temporarily, from products that have strong, perfume-type smells. Odo Ban is such a product. Just putting it out there for anyone else who is sensitive to strong odors.
I use a very expensive ortho pillow. I washed the last one in the washing machine, without checking the tag, and it fell apart! Going to try this method. TFS 🌞 P.S. Hope that you vacuumed the bed where you had the pillows sitting.
nothing like fresh pillows that smell good. i wash mine but inbetween its good to give em a freshen up. i love the Oder Ban. Febreze is so nice. i forget to do this to my shoes.
May I just suggest if you use the concentrated gallon version of OdoBan, you absolutely want to dilute according to the directions for the intended use.
Hi Andrea I tried using the hydrogen peroxide and dawn dish soap trick on my pillow while it was drying outside because it still had small yellow stains on it and when I went back outside an hour later to check the pillow it caused even bigger yellow stains where I used the mixture. What can I do now to get rid of the new stains?
NO WAY🤗 , I didn't know that. I been looking at pillows online but couldn't decide what brand to go with.🤔🤷Lol... thank you so much for letting us no!!!

Btw TYVVVM of your awesome advice and the hard work you put into giving us such great advice, Info., tips, tricks & hacks! When you test out supposed tricks/hacks find out they're epic fails.... that TRULY saves your viewers a lot of time effort & of course... $🤑! Thanks again!
I haven’t watched yet but I know one can wash (launder) down feathers comforter and pillows bc I have been for over a decade, same ones all these years. If you wash twice a year two washes using two different types of soap. If once a year I suggest three washes. Hot water for at least one of them. Then spin them twice if possible. The hardest part is drying. The main two points are 1- dry slowly at first, breaking up the clumps between and during cycles and 2-get it 100% or more dry. You should not be able to smell anything off if dried completely. All this info applies to the pillows too. I wash 3 together for more friction. Use a degreaser like Fulsol helps too.Oh, and adding tennis balls to the last two or more drying cycles but not the first two assist in feather break up.

Thank you! I have some many throw pillows that can’t go in the wash this helps immensely! 🎉
Happy to help!
Thank you all the tips for cleaning. OdoBan is such a great product. It is also good on mildew.
Hi. Just thought I would drop a line to say you give really good practical advice on alot of common things. Just wanted to say thank you.

This is so great especially for guest bedroom pillows

I sleep with a cotton towel on top of my pillow due to sweating caused by one of my meds. Keeps pillow cleaner. 🌞
Thank You for the tip. Will start doing this tonight! 😻

I use the odor ban in my husbands sick room, and I am going to do pillows tomorrow. They need it .
Hello Andrea😍😍😍thank you for sharing all your good ideas💖💖💖I simply love all your videos 😉 😉😉fr Philippines with love💕💕💕
Thank you Andrea didn't know to use rubbing alcohol on the pillows will do. Joan Bates
I still just wash and dry mine in the machine. But this is good to know. Yeah the skin cells really freak me our too!
I enjoy your tricks and hacks. I love using Lemon. I always share Your videos with my Sister in Ohio. Thank You 💯💚💜
I now use pillow protectors which have a zip on them, got a 4 pack for $15 :) got to get some for my sons.
Running them through the dryer on air/no heat helps too!
Thank you for the information
I will be washing my pillows this week 💜
nothing like fresh pillows that smell good. i wash mine but inbetween its good to give em a freshen up. i love the Oder Ban. Febreze is so nice. i forget to do this to my shoes.
Does this method also work on memory foam type pillows? Thx
Oh my gosh!! Now I’m grossed out with my pillows...I’ll be washing them tomorrow!!
May I just suggest if you use the concentrated gallon version of OdoBan, you absolutely want to dilute according to the directions for the intended use.
I use a mix of hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and water, spraying all the pillow and let dry.
Great stuff!! Is there a way to clean a queen size comforter without using the washing machine? 🙏
In the bathtub with your feet!
An easy way to sanitixe pillows.
Thank you, my washer cannot perform w pillows in rinse cycle.
Great video on cleaning pillows thank you. But I am curious, don't you cover them with pillowslips as well?
Love your cleaning ideas, they are great. For those on a tight budget WALMART sells the ODO BAN (gallon) for $10.00. Good luck all.

Give it a wash in cold water using a good detergent and see what’s left of the stain 👍
@@AndreaJean ok what detergent do you recommend? and thank you 😊
I always use Tide and I love Oxiclean White Revive too :-)
@@AndreaJean yes the peroxide and dawn was a let down
Won't peroxide remove the color from your pillow?
Your Spanish is fine 💜
How do you clean non washables?
Vacuum like they would a rug “in the olden days”…um, you mean like every Saturday of my 1990s childhood? 🤣
MY PILLOW ! you can throw them right in the washer and dryer !
The best pillows ever

I suggest doing some research on the chemicals in those since your face is on it for so long.
You can throw those "my pillows" shit in the trash. They're shitty!
@@karenbernard6041 Thanks for your respectful comment.
Would this get blood stains out? My son gets regular nose bleeds so annoying...
Cold water can get blood out.
My pillows are cheap at Walmart, I replace them, I lay towel on the bottom sheet so I don't sweat stain that.
I have granite that is stained by vinegar please make a video on how to remove it. I tried baking soda no luck
Can I use your method for cleaning pillows to clean a feather comforter?

I am descaling my k cup coffee machine vinegar. After rinsing at least 4 times, "descale" is still lit on the machine. Any suggestions? Thank you.
My pillow was just washed yet it still got sweat smell
What if u don’t have hydrogen peroxide?
💕💕💕🌺
Guess Vinegar is as effective...
Love the channel, but you lost me a bit here! This ain't cleaning. I will watch the deep clean vid.
Too much chemicals.
