How to care for pillows so they stay soft and durable.
To care for your pillow so that it remains soft and long-lasting, here are some tips you can try.
1. Keep away from moisture.
Make sure your pillow is not exposed to excessive moisture. Keep your pillow dry, especially if you live in a humid area. Moisture can make pillows soft and smell bad.
2. Squeeze regularly.
Occasionally squeeze the pillow with your hands to restore its shape. This helps reduce the chance of lumps forming and ensures the filling remains evenly distributed.
3. Provide air.
Give your pillow time to "breathe" by exposing it to the sun regularly. Exposure to sunlight helps remove moisture that may be trapped inside and also kills germs that can make your pillow smell bad.
4. Spin and daub.
Apart from drying it in the sun, occasionally rotate and fluff the pillow so that the contents remain evenly distributed and don't clump on one side.
5. Clean regularly.
Wash your pillow according to the instructions on the label. Many pillows can be machine washed, but make sure you read the instructions carefully. Using fabric softener or drying on a low temperature can help keep your pillow soft.
By caring for your pillow regularly according to the tips above, you can maintain the softness and comfort of your pillow for a longer period of time.
