Do you also use your pillow daily? If so, chances are you simply put it away after use. Yet a regular refresh is more important than you think. Because the cushion often comes into direct contact with your skin, the pits absorb oils and dust over time. Fortunately, cleaning is easier than you think!
In five steps to a clean, fresh cherry stone pillow
Want to make your pillow feel like new again? Then follow these simple steps:
- The preparation: First put the cherry stone pillow in a bowl of water for half an hour. This allows the kernels to absorb some moisture beforehand, which prevents them from drying out or cracking during washing.
- In the machine: Put the pillow in the washing machine on a programme of 30 degrees.
- TRIXXO tip: Always use a wash net. Should there be a small tear in the seam, you will prevent your entire washing machine from being full of loose pits!
- Keep it neutral: Use absolutely no detergent or fabric softener. The kernels can absorb odour and chemicals, which is not pleasant when you later heat the pillow in the microwave.
- Dry thoroughly: After washing, place the cushion on a dry towel that will absorb the initial wetness. Then let the cushion air dry completely. Want to speed up the process? Then place the towel with the cushion on a warm heater.
- Shake up: Is the cushion bone-dry? Then shake it well to redistribute the pits airily.
Smart tips for everyday use
Want to avoid having to wash the pillow too often? Then use a cushion cover or a clean towel around the cushion during use. This will keep the fabric of the cushion itself clean and fresh for much longer.
A well-maintained cherry stone pillow will last for years. After that moment of rest, don't feel like starting the weekly cleaning? Leave that to us! Request your household help from TRIXXO now and enjoy a worry-free, fresh home.
