Memory foam pillows are not suitable for direct washing due to their characteristics. If you accidentally encounter water stains, you should immediately take gentle countermeasures: use a highly absorbent towel to gently press the surface to absorb the water to the greatest extent, then place it in a well-ventilated place without direct sunlight to air dry naturally, and carefully check whether its unique slow rebound characteristics are affected.
For necessary cleaning, it is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove the dust on the surface, and then use a clean white cloth soaked in clean water diluted with mild detergent (pay attention to control the amount of water to avoid excessive soaking) to gently wipe the stained area. After cleaning, it should also be placed in a cool and ventilated place to let it dry naturally.
For the odor problem that may occur in memory foam pillows, there are two simple and effective methods to try: one is to evenly spread an appropriate amount of baking soda on the pillow, wait for about two hours, let the baking soda fully absorb the odor, and then use a vacuum cleaner to clean it up; the second is to make a homemade mixed spray containing a few drops of essential oils and distilled water, gently spray it on the pillow, and let it air dry naturally, which can both remove odors and add pleasant fragrance.
It is important to avoid exposing your memory foam pillow to direct sunlight to prevent damage to the material. Following these proper cleaning and maintenance guidelines will not only effectively extend the life of your pillow, but also give you a more comfortable and healthy sleeping experience.
