Despite the fact that every day we dedicate a large part of our time to cleaning the home, there are stains that appear suddenly and we do not really know where they could have come from. One of them has to do with bedding and more specifically with pillows, which over time gain that unsightly yellow color that we want to eliminate.
Why do pillows turn yellow?
After a while, the pillows tend to turn a yellowish color. No matter what pillow it is, or what material it is made of, or its size, the passage of time and its continuous use cause it to end up turning that color, or at least in some areas.
This yellow color is a dirt stain that forms normally as we use it. The factors that cause it to come out are sweat, which seeps through the fabric, and saliva, which falls on it when a person sleeps.
How to prevent pillows from turning yellow?
To prevent the pillows from turning yellow we need to wash them as often as necessary. He does not have them washed daily or weekly, but he does wash them a couple of times a year, both so that they do not turn yellow, and for health.
The ideal number of times to wash pillows is four times a year and you must first take into account what material they are made of in order to do it correctly. In any case, it is advisable to be guided by the specific indications that each pillow has on its label and when we have finished cleaning it, look very well that it does not have remains to make sure that it is completely clean.
