Can You Wash Bamboo Pillows
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BAMBOO PILLOWS
The bamboo fibers from which the outer pillow and the filling are made are very strong, durable and soft. Even after industrial processing, they preserve the antimicrobial and anti-allergenic properties of the plant. Therefore, pillows made of this material have a positive effect on human skin, protecting the face and neck from wrinkles and edema.
The elastic padding does not shed, fixes the position of the head, gives good support to the neck. People with diseases of the respiratory organs, stomach and cardiovascular system are recommended to use this useful pillow.
But bamboo products have certain “variations”. Fibers very quickly absorb moisture, and therefore dirt. The filling foam does not tolerate hard physical impacts. The active ingredients in washing powder are even more aggressive. Therefore, washing and drying must be especially gentle.
How to Wash Bamboo Pillow
In order not to damage the product, you must follow the rules for taking care of it. Here they are:
- It is not recommended to wash a pillow made of bamboo fiber in a washing machine – this irreversibly damages the filler.
- You can also not dry clean the product.
- Gentle hand washing is acceptable.
- The water in the basin should be between + 20 and + 25 ° C. It must be poured just enough to cover the pillow.
- It is best that the detergent is liquid. It is placed slightly less than what is required according to the instructions for the amount of water given.
- Do not use bleaching compounds.
- Wash with gentle strokes, then rinse thoroughly until the water is clear.
- The washed pillow should not be put in the dryer, because high temperatures destroy the filler.
- The product is placed on a clean, flat surface.
- It is best to dry in the sun if the day is not very hot.
- From time to time, turn the pillow over and beat a little so that there are no lumps.
- Bamboo fiber cannot be ironed, and it is not necessary – it will take its former form.
Subject to all the rules, the wonderful pillow will serve you for a long time. It can withstand 500 hand washes without damage.
