After a while, pillow fillings tend to turn yellow due to contact with sweat and oils from the scalp, a common issue in many households. Often, people focus solely on washing the pillowcases without remembering to clean the fillings regularly, resulting in unnecessary waste. In this article, Super Mart Mytour shares a simple method to whiten yellowed pillow fillings using the Sharp 8 Kg ES-W80GV-H washing machine, check it out!
Causes of Yellowed Pillow Fillings
The reason pillow fillings turn yellow over time, despite being covered with pillowcases, is because they absorb sweat, oils, and other dirt during use. These stains gradually develop into yellow discoloration. Failure to regularly wash pillow fillings and allowing them to remain unchanged for extended periods can lead to skin conditions such as acne, fungal infections, which can be hazardous and may even exacerbate conditions like allergies and asthma. Additionally, many people often discard yellowed pillow fillings, which is wasteful. You can easily whiten pillow fillings using a washing machine every 3 months at home.

Proper Method for Whitening Pillow Fillings Using a Washing Machine
Before washing and whitening pillow fillings, you'll need to prepare the following ingredients:

- ½ cup of soda ash
You should pay attention to the quantity of pillow fillings to be able to measure the appropriate ratio.
Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
- Refer to the instructions on the pillow filling label to select the appropriate washing mode.
- First, select the hot water washing mode and fill the washing tub. Then, add all the prepared ingredients: laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, and ½ cup of soda ash into the washing machine.
- Next, once everything is in the washing machine, start the machine to mix the mixture.
- Then, depending on the capacity of the washing tub, place 2-3 pillow fillings and start the washing machine with a regular wash cycle.
Put the pillow fillings into the washing machine and follow the regular washing process
- Wait until the washing machine switches to the second rinse cycle, then press the “Pause” button and flip the pillow fillings inside out to ensure both sides are washed with hot water and whitened most effectively. Additionally, to ensure the washing machine is clean and all detergent residues are removed, you can run an extra cycle and rinse once more.
- Finally, when the wash and rinse cycle is complete, switch to using the drying function of the washing machine (if available), or you can take them out to air dry.
