SAWALU.COM: How to Wash a Yellow Stained Pillow in a Washing Machine

Along with regular use, pillows can get dirty and worn. One of the problems that often occurs is the appearance of yellow stains on the pillow.

Yellow stains on pillows can appear for several reasons. The most common causes are wet pillows due to exposure to sweat or saliva, or due to mites nesting in the pillow.

To quote the Tips Bulletin, although most pillows are machine washable, some types only require hand cleaning or dry cleaning. Therefore, it is important to check the care label on your pillow before washing it.

Also, check to see if the pillows can be washed in a top-loading or front-loading washing machine. Polyester pillows can be washed in the washing machine, but memory foam pillows cannot.

Here's how to wash a pillow that has yellow stains using a washing machine.

Materials and equipment needed

Half a cup of dish soap

A quarter cup of white vinegar

A quarter cup of washing soda

One tablespoon of laundry detergent

Small container

Washing machine

Dryer

Tennis ball

To whiten yellowed pillows, combine washing soda, vinegar, laundry detergent, and dish detergent in a small bowl and mix. Put the pillow in the washing machine.

Then, add the cleaning solution as you normally would when washing.

Because this cleaning agent is viscous, it sticks to the surface of the pillow, so a second wash cycle is required. Repeat the wash cycle using only hot water to remove all residue.

This simple but effective method is great for removing sweat stains from clothes or pillows. Easily remove yellow stains and then place pillows or other clothing in the dryer.
