Baking soda is a simple way to get rid of dirt and odors
For this miracle method, we will need: an old clean sheet (or a piece of gauze or any other non-shedding fabric), hot water, and baking soda.
First, sprinkle the pillow with baking soda – you won’t regret it! Baking soda, as you know, is a real “vacuum cleaner” for unpleasant odors and dirt. It not only helps neutralize unpleasant aromas, but also has a powerful antiseptic effect, destroying various microbes and bacteria.
Wet and wring out the sheet – hot water activates the action of the soda and allows it to penetrate deeper into the fabric. At this stage, it is very important to wring out the fabric well so that it does not drip – we do not need a “dirty swamp”, but only light moisture.
Cover the pillow for two hours – during this time the baking soda will be able to absorb all the dirt and odors, and the hot water will help it with this. Just leave the pillow to “rest” under the damp cloth and go about your business.
Shake and dry – after the time is up, thoroughly shake the pillow to remove any remaining baking soda and leave it to dry in the sun. The sun’s rays are an incredibly wonderful natural disinfectant!
Lemon method for freshness and cleanliness
If you prefer a fresh lemon scent, then you should try this method:
Squeeze the juice from 4-5 lemons and strain it thoroughly through a sieve to remove the seeds and pulp. Boil three liters of water and add the lemon juice to it.
Place the pillow in a basin or other suitable container and fill it with the warm lemon solution. Leave the pillow to “bath” in the lemon water for about three hours. Remove the pillow and squeeze it thoroughly to get rid of excess moisture.
So, whichever method you choose, your favorite pillows and blankets will be able to shine with crystal clarity and unique freshness again, and you will be able to enjoy a healthy and comfortable sleep! And don't forget that systematic cleaning is the key to the health and durability of your bedding.
