How to Take Proper Care of Bamboo Cooling Pillow
If you are thinking about washing your pillows, you need to take into account the fact that they will need considerate care. Most pillows come with a removable bamboo cover which can be washed in the washing machine. The cycles should be on the cold water and on the gentlest cycle. This is if you are not thinking about hand washing the cover. Once you have finished with the removable cover, you can start washing the pillow. Depending on the type of bamboo cooling pillow purchase, it can be adjusted to the thickness you prefer. With standard pillows, it’s advisable that you change them once every year. On the other hand, most cooling pillows are designed to last much longer than that, with many carrying multiple year warranties.
In order for the bamboo cooling pillows to maintain their cooling properties for the longest possible duration, you need to care for them properly. You cannot put them in the washing machine, but if there is a removable cover, you can wash it according to the care instructions on the tag. Usually, these types of pillows don’t harbor bacteria and mold as normal pillows do, so if you want to clean it, you can sprinkle some baking soda on it. This ingredient will help you remove mold and unpleasant odors. However, keep in mind to remove the baking soda with a vacuum cleaner.
Additionally, if you want to spot clean it, you just have to use a cup of mild dish soap, water, and a few paper towels. Use a clean rag and wipe the pillow down with the soap and water mix. Then, you have to keep a towel on top of it and just let it sit overnight because the water will really be down in the foam. Leave it upright in a well-ventilated area and make sure that it is completely dry before you put a pillowcase back on it. Of course, one of the most important things you can do to keep a pillow in a good shape is to change its cover at least once or twice a week. In fact, it’s much easier to replace a bit of cloth than it is to get a whole new queen bamboo cooling pillow.
