Re: how often do you wash your pillows?

I'm kind of anal about my pillows. We get new pillows every 6 months, but during the time they are in use, they get washed every 2 weeks. I put 2 pillows at a time in the washer and when I put them in the dryer I throw 3-4 tennis balls in with them to keep them from getting lumpy

Re: how often do you wash your pillows?

do you use your own wash machine to wash them? I always bring them to the laundromat. I just didn't want anything to happen to my own wash machine-but I will try!

I really thought that was the point of using (and washing) a pillow case. Same thing with sheets. You don't wash your mattress, you just wash your sheets/mattress cover.

I have heard of getting zip up cases for those with bad allergies (and washing the zip case). I really never heard of washing a pillow at all.

I agree...i've never washed a pillow either. I've had my pillows for awhile now, and it's time for new ones, but I don't wash them....

I buy new ones.
I washed my pillows before, but, they come out lumpy.
I just grab my BB&B coupons and get new ones.

Same here. We always had the zip pillow protectors that we would wash when we washed our sheets/pillow cases. I never heard of washing a pillow.

Me too.
I get new pillows for everyone - except for my husband. He likes to use the same pillow forever so he uses 2 pillow covers and a pillowcase and uses the friggin' pillow for YEARS. He likes flat flat flat pillows and there is some comfort for him with using the same pillow. I hide his pillow in the closet and use the new fluffy ones on the bed. He tosses the new pillows and pulls out his flat thing every night.Chat Icon

I actually do. I steam clean my mattress at least once a month. DH is a mechanic & no matter how much he showers or cleans after work, he sweats out all of the crap that gets in his skin at work. I just hate that griminess.

Sorry DH, you still rockChat Icon
