Here’s how to clean dirty bed pillows to leave them white and smelling sweet.

#### **2. Synthetic Pillows**
Synthetic pillows are made from polyester or other synthetic fibers. They are easy to clean and maintain, making them a popular choice for many people.

**Cleaning Method**:
– **Machine Wash**: Synthetic pillows can typically be washed in a **top-loading washing machine** with warm water. Use a gentle cycle to prevent damage to the fabric.
– **Detergent**: Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the pillow’s fluffiness.
– **Drying**: Dry synthetic pillows on a low heat setting in the dryer. Like down pillows, adding dryer balls or clean tennis balls will help maintain the pillow’s fluff.

#### **3. Memory Foam Pillows**
Memory foam pillows are popular for their ability to conform to your head and neck, providing great support. However, they are not machine washable, as excessive moisture can damage the foam.

**Cleaning Method**:
– **Spot Clean**: Use a small amount of mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth to spot clean the pillow. Gently rub the stained area to remove dirt or oil.
– **Deodorize**: To eliminate odors, sprinkle the pillow with baking soda and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Afterward, vacuum the pillow to remove the baking soda.
– **Air Dry**: Allow the pillow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, but avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam.
