I have so many yellowed pillows that I don’t really like to throw away, so I’ve been searching for ways how to bring them back to their former glory. I came across so many Youtube tutorials that use five or more cleaning products and are complicated to follow. I was on the verge of giving up and just accepted that I’ll buy new ones until I found this tutorial from Andrea Jean Cleaning. This tutorial is what I meant when I said I like a simple, quick, and fast method to whiten my pillows. What’s more, you only need one super solution for this one. Who would have thought it was that simple, right? This method saved me a lot of bucks from buying new pillows and helped me keep my old ones. I’m forever thankful for this incredible tutorial and will definitely share it with my loved ones. Try this method today and see how effective it is! Watch the video tutorial below for the instructions.

Materials:

  • hydrogen peroxide
  • dawn liquid soap
  • old toothbrush
  • OxiClean

Directions:

Step 1

For spot cleaning, combine equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and dawn liquid soap in a small container and brush the solution on the affected area in a circular motion. After you spot-clean them, it’s now time to wash them in the washing machine. Add a scoop and a half of OxiClean into the washer, then put your pillows inside. Set your washing machine to soap mode, hottest setting, and in heavy mode. Pre-soak for two hours, then wash in a regular cycle.

After two hours, put in your regular laundry detergent, then switch the setting to warm and normal. After you wash them, pop them in the dryer.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
