Impeccable white pillows, no washing machine necessary: grandmothers’ dry cleaning method

Clean them dry, grandma’s advice

So the valid alternative is to dry clean them. The practical and functional remedy comes directly from our grandmothers, who as cleaning and tricks at no cost, are truly unbeatable. Anyone who has baking soda at home, which is one of the allies that no one could ever give up. Baking soda is also formidable in this case, it allows you to have white and very clean cushions in a short time.

Among other things, baking soda should be used in small quantities, without water. The product allows to sanitize and refresh the cushions by spraying the surface and leaving it on for a maximum of one hour. If you want to have an even more interesting effect, you can mix baking soda and oil drops of any fragrance. The result will be fabulous.

To remove it after the exposure time has elapsed, use a brush or simply a vacuum cleaner. Baking soda is used, because it has a fantastic cleaning and absorbent action, while the addition of oil allows the pillow to smell good and eliminate germs and bacteria.

Talcum powder, another valid remedy against stains

A second remedy has talcum powder as its protagonist, which since ancient times has been used to soothe the redness of children’s skin, to counteract irritation, sweat, to dry moisture from the skin. In the same way and due to the same absorbent properties, it is able to absorb the fat from the cushions and remove all stains.

Just sprinkle the pillow with talcum powder and leave it on for a few hours, then in the same way as with baking soda, use a brush to remove excess dust or a vacuum cleaner that is undoubtedly more comfortable.

How to use vinegar and other natural products we have at home

These two remedies are accompanied by vinegar, which refreshes and eliminates bad odors from the pillow quickly. Then you pour vinegar into a bucket of water, then dip a cloth in the solution, wring out well because it shouldn’t be wet at all.

To the solution obtained, you can add a few drops of essential oil of your choice from several fragrances. Orange, tangerine, lavender are indicated that also help to relax and sleep. Then the damp cloth is passed over the pillow and then left to dry in the sun or air.

Lemon and salt cannot be missing , which have an incredible cleaning action to remove stains on all fabrics. In fact, lemon was once used to revive the natural whiteness of clothing, while salt is known for its great degreasing and antibacterial properties. Then, the two products are mixed, until a paste is obtained that is sprinkled directly on the pillow, in small quantities.

Special attention is paid to where there are stains with a damp cloth. Leave it on for an hour. Once the necessary time has elapsed, it can be removed with a dry cloth or if not clean. Eventually, the pillow will look freshly washed or freshly purchased.

Marseille soap

The last remedy for white and stain-free pillows is the use of Marseille soap.

Only one glass should be poured into a liter of warm water. A cloth is soaked in the solution, squeezed very well and rubbed on the pillow. Then let it dry, the pillows will be perfect.
