How to Clean Dirty Bed Pillows and Make Them White and Fresh-Smelling

Use a heavy-duty or bedding cycle.

Rinse Thoroughly:
Add an extra rinse cycle to remove all residue.

Dry Properly:

Tumble dry on low with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to fluff.

Ensure the pillow is completely dry to prevent mold.

Bonus Tip: Keep Them Smelling Sweet!
Add a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oil to a clean cloth or dryer ball during the drying cycle for a long-lasting fresh scent.
