Check these steps for laundry:

1. Check the care label: Always start by checking the care label on your pillows. This label will provide information about the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions. If the label indicates that the pillows are not washable, you might consider spot-cleaning or professional cleaning instead.

2. Remove pillowcases: Take off any pillowcases and pillow protectors if they are on your pillows. These should be washed separately.

3. Vacuum: Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove any surface dust, dirt, and debris from the pillows. This step helps ensure that you’re not washing excess dirt into the pillowfill.

4. Pre-treat stains: If your pillows have any stains or spots, pre-treat them with a stain remover or a mixture of water and mild detergent. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before washing.

5. Choose the right washing machine: Most pillows can be washed in a top-loading washing machine. Front-loading machines can be too harsh and may damage the pillows.

6. Use a mild detergent: Use a gentle, liquid detergent that is suitable for delicate items. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the pillow materials.

7. Balance the load: To ensure even washing and prevent unbalancing the machine, it’s a good idea to wash two pillows at a time. This will help maintain the machine’s balance during the spin cycle.

8. Set the machine: Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold or warm water, depending on the care label instructions. Agitation on a gentle cycle is less likely to damage the pillows.

9. Rinse thoroughly: Ensure that the pillows are rinsed thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.

10. Dry the pillows: There are a few options for drying your pillows:

  • Air-dry: The best method for many pillows is to air-dry them. Hang them outside on a sunny day or indoors in a well-ventilated area. Fluff and rotate them periodically to help them dry evenly.
  • Tumble dry: Some pillows, like down or synthetic-filled ones, can be dried in a large-capacity dryer. Use the lowest heat setting and add clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the pillows. Ensure they are completely dry to prevent mold growth.

11. Fluff and reshape: Once the pillows are fully dry, fluff and reshape them to their original form.

12. Pillow protectors and pillowcases: Wash and dry your pillow protectors and pillowcases separately according to their care labels before putting them back on the pillows.
