Why is your pillow turning yellow and how to keep it fresh?

Avoid oily skincare products before bedtime

If you apply a night cream, wait until it is fully absorbed before going to bed. This will limit the transfer of product onto your pillow.

Maintain a cool sleeping temperature

Sleeping in a cooler room reduces nighttime sweating. Try to keep your room around 18-20°C to avoid excess moisture in your bedding.

How to clean a yellowed pillow?

If your pillow already has yellow stains , here is an effective method to restore its shine

Check the care label

Not all pillows wash the same. Check if they are machine washable or if they require dry cleaning.

Pretreat stains

Before washing your pillow, apply a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar to the yellowed areas. Let it sit for 15 minutes before washing.

Wash in hot water

If the label allows it, machine wash the pillow with a mild detergent and a cup of baking soda. This will help remove stains and unpleasant odors.

Dry properly

Thorough drying is essential to prevent mold growth. Place your pillow in the dryer with clean dryer balls or tennis balls to fluff it up.
