You can wash pillows depending on the materials used. For cotton, you can use your washing machine to do the work. Use the gentle washing cycle in cold or warm water cycle only. But if you have a memory foam pillow, it is better to use dry cleaning only. These foams have open cells inside it and it absorbs water quickly. It might take days to dry them up completely, which is enough time for molds to form.

WHERE were you last week when I washed pillows that wound up bunchy and crummy because I didn’t know about this amazing tennis ball trick???

It’s recommended to wash a foam pillow by hand. I guess you’d put it in a tub of soapy water and then rinse. Sounds hard.

ROFL! I think my three feather pillows have hit their drool limit.

Me thinks I’ll have to give them a wash this weekend and if’n it’s not raining/snowing will hang them out on the clothes line.

WOW! I have throwing out my down pillows when they get too grungy. Who knew you could wash them? At 40 to 50 bucks a piece, I will certainly try this.
