Pillow washing by the Best and Most thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid. Birds preen their feathers every day, and it’s smart for humans to take the hint. Wash the pillowcase and, if there is one, the removable cover regularly to prevent dirt and body oils from migrating to the ticking or filing. Leaving pillows in a crushed position can permanently damage the loft of a down feather, so don’t wad them up or store them under heavy linens for long, says the 45 Year Old Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
It’s not unusual for feather pillows to be discarded with ever being washed, when, washing every couple of years is a good idea. As long as the label says “washable”, they can go directly into the washing machine. Select regular agitation and spin cycles and use warm water and detergent. If you have a top loading machine, first fill the machine, add the detergent, and let the machine agitate briefly to mix the detergent and water. Then add the pillows. Push them down into the water because they will float, proclaims the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
If you have a font loading machine, add the soap, then the pillows and then fill with water. Wash two or three pillows in the same load. Let them soak for ten minutes or so and swish them around a couple of times during this period. Then, let the machine agitate for 5 minutes before moving the dial ahead to the first spin cycle or to the rinse cycle. Let it go through the rinse and remaining spin cycles. Set it for an extra rinse, if available.
Pillows take a long time to dry, so be patient and start early. Set the dryer to low. Stop the dryer every half hour or so and give the pillows a good shake to help dry, reshape, and refluff them. Be patient and try not to think they are dry before they really are. They must be completely dry or they will be vulnerable to mildew, says the Premier Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
