Pillows containing loose synthetic fillings are more durable and hypoallergenic, and less expensive than pillows containing natural materials. They are also a lot easier to clean than natural pillows, so you do not have to resort to a professional cleaner every time. Your best bet when cleaning a synthetic pillow is to follow the manufacturer’s instructions found on the pillow’s label. For this reason, it might be good to remove and save your pillows’ labels for future reference. Generally, it is considered safe to place pillows with synthetic fillings in a commercial washer and dryer. But be sure to use cold water and a non-abrasive detergent while washing. Dry the pillows on low heat and add tennis balls (or some clean sneakers) to the dryer to help the pillows retain their shape. Pillows are bulky and require adequate space to move around in a commercial washer or dryer. Therefore, it is best that they be cleaned separately from your other bed linens and washables. Foam or “memory foam” pillows are also made from synthetic materials and can be treated similar to pillows containing loose synthetic fillings. While cleaning, follow manufacturer’s directions for care which can be found on the label. Use only lukewarm soapy water while hand-washing foam pillows. Do not remove the covers off the foam pillows while washing in order to prevent fraying. Foam pillows washed in a commercial washer should be laid flat in a cool, dry place in order to dry. Never dry foam pillows in a commercial dryer. Pillows containing natural filling, require the most care when cleaning. It is recommended that they be dry cleaned and only when necessary. Look for a reliable cleaning company to do the job. Keeping down pillows in pillowcases and fluffing them regularly to reduce matting will reduce the need for cleaning. If necessary, a down pillow can be hand-washed in warm soapy water and hung out to dry. While drying, be sure to shake the pillow occasionally to reduce matting. Also, do not let down pillows remain wet after washing as this invites mold and mildew on the fabric.
