How to clean and fluff pillows

Fluffing pillows is like giving your head a high-five from comfort — yet it’s often overlooked. Here’s how to keep yours fresh, fluffy, and oh-so-inviting.

 

What you need

✔ Universal Cleaner with Atomiser (for pre-treat + deodorising)
✔ Sensitive Laundry Liquid
✔ Tennis or dryer balls
✔ Baking soda
✔ General Cloth

Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Check the care label — most down, feather, and synthetic pillows are machine-washable, but memory foam isn’t.

Step 2
Spot-treat stains and deodorise with Universal Cleaner and let sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3
Wash two pillows at a time with Sensitive Laundry Liquid on a gentle cycle.

Step 4
Spin twice to remove excess water.

Step 5
Dry on low heat with tennis or dryer balls to restore fluff.

Step 6
For foam pillows, spot clean only, then air-dry flat.

Step 7
Between washes, spray with Universal Cleaner, leave a few minutes, then wipe with a damp General Cloth.

 

Pro tip

Air pillows in the sun to deodorise and kill mites.

 

Safety first: Always check your pillow’s care label first — foam pillows can be damaged in the wash, and heat can cause clumping or shrinkage.

 

Other notes

Use pillow protectors to extend time between washes.

Wash every 3–6 months for the fluffiest sleep

• Replace pillows every 1–2 years, or when they lose support, for the healthiest rest.
