Brilio.net - Mattresses, pillows, and bolsters are very easy to get dirty and moldy due to intensive daily use. These sleeping equipment are often exposed to various stains such as spilled food, drinks, and sweat during use. Without regular cleaning, mattresses, pillows, and bolsters will become increasingly dull and dirty over time.
The use of linings such as sheets or pillowcases on bedding is highly recommended for additional protection. The smooth texture of sheets and pillowcases provides more comfort while sleeping. However, keep in mind that sheets and pillowcases also require regular care through periodic washing like the main bedding.
Washing sheets and pillowcases should be done every week or at most once every two weeks. Pillowcases that are not cleaned for a long time will show stubborn stains that are difficult to remove even after washing with detergent and brushing. YouTube user Yahman CN demonstrated this through a video he uploaded, showing his pillowcase that was covered in hardened yellow stains.
To overcome stubborn stains on pillowcases , additional, stronger cleaning fluids are needed. Ordinary detergents are often not effective enough to remove stains that have settled too long on the pillowcase fabric. Special cleaning methods with additional fluids can restore cleanliness and restore the original color of stained pillowcases.
He intended to wash the dirty pillowcase with a mixture of several ingredients. Not only using detergent, the YouTube user also added 1 kitchen ingredient .
As reported by Brilio.net from YouTube Yahman CN on Monday (7/4), the kitchen ingredient used as an additional ingredient is dishwashing soap.

In addition to dish soap and detergent, he also added bleaching powder, bath soap, and hot water. First, pour 1 bottle cap of liquid detergent, enough dish soap, 1 tablespoon of bleaching powder, and dissolve it with hot water.

Then soak the pillowcase for 1 hour or more until the stains start to fade. After that, rub the pillowcase with your hands and rinse with clean water.

Because there were still stains that were difficult to remove, the YouTube user rubbed the stains on the pillowcase again with soap. After feeling clean enough, he rinsed the pillowcase again with clean water, then dried it in the sun.
As a result, the pillowcase that initially looked shabby and dirty became clean and fragrant again.
An easy way to put on pillow and bolster cases starts by turning the case inside out first so that the inside is on the outside, then insert your hand into the case all the way to the end, hold the end of the pillow or bolster, and pull the case slowly while turning it back to its original position.
This technique makes it easy for the cover to fit neatly without having to shake or push with excessive force. Make sure the corners of the cover are aligned with the ends of the pillow or bolster so that the results are even and do not bubble. Once installed, tidy up the edges and zippers or buttons if there are any, so that it looks clean and comfortable to wear.
