Sweat, saliva, and body oils from your skin and hair can seep into your pillows, gradually turning them yellow. Luckily, a mix of four ingredients can restore their

white color.

It's important to check the laundry tag to make sure your pillow can be washed in the washing machine before you start removing the stains.

Start by soaking your pillow in hot water with 1 cup of powdered laundry detergent, 1 cup of bleach, 1 cup of dishwasher detergent, and ½ cup of borax.

You can soak it in your washing machine using the soak function. You can also boil water and soak it in a large bucket or let the hot water run in the bathtub and soak it there.

To let the ingredients activate and work on the stain, allow the pillow to soak for an hour and flip it halfway. Then, wash it with hot water and include an added rinse.

Finally, let your pillow air dry or dry it in the drying machine. If the laundry tag doesn’t tell you what setting to dry it with, use a low-heat setting to be safe.
