Everyday pillows can become a breeding ground for mold, especially if they are not properly cared for. Moisture trapped inside the pillow , especially after prolonged use or if the pillow is not properly dried, can lead to mold spots. These spots not only ruin the appearance of the pillow, but can also cause health problems, such as allergies or skin infections.
Other impacts caused by these stains can be even worse. Dirty and mold-stained pillows tend to produce an unpleasant odor. If it is like that, pillows can actually reduce sleep quality and affect respiratory health, especially for sensitive people.
Bolsters that are exposed to mold like this are often considered unfit for use. As a result, many people then just throw them away. In fact, if washed thoroughly, the mold spots can disappear and the bolster is more comfortable to use again.
A Facebook user named Fitri Rahmawati once shared a simple trick for washing moldy pillows. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted to using simple materials and tools. Even without brushing or soaking in bleach, the pillow can be shiny again.
As reported by BrilioFood from Facebook Fitri Rahmawati on Wednesday (28/8), the netizen admitted to only relying on kitchen ingredients, such as salt, baking soda, vinegar, and dish soap. These ingredients will later be mixed together in a bucket.
