How to clean feather pillows from contamination at home

Few people sleep on feather pillows right now. Feathers are an allergen and they collect a lot of dust. However, in the country, perhaps you have just such pillows. Someone likes to sleep on feather pillows, and someone they are dear as a memory. In any case, pillows with natural and synthetic filler should be washed.

By the way, pillows with down and feather in dry cleaning are washed and disinfected, dry the filler and pour it into a new clean seal. Honestly, this is the easiest way to clean a pillow with a feather than to do it all day and sprinkle feathers all over the house. It is strictly impossible to wash such pillows in the washing machine, in any case, the feathers will clog into the technique and This will cause the washing machine to break down..



Even when we change the pillowcase, we may notice spots on the cone. It's sweat stains. The pillow absorbs sweat, collects dust, dust mites settle inside. If you suddenly start sneezing, it may be time to wash your pillow and blanket. There are housewives who are not afraid of difficulties. They advise to tear up the casket and fill it with water so that the feathers do not spread throughout the bathroom. Then they wash the feathers from dirt and dust with their hands.

You'll need it.
  • tulle
  • pelvis
  • shampoo


  1. Make a bag out of an unnecessary tulle. The smaller the net, the better. A fabric section of 2 m by 1.5 m of stitches on the sides, organza is best for washing feathers.
  2. Argue the cavalry and sprinkle the feathers into a tulle bag. Tie the bags with your shoelace. It's better to sew a new one, too.



  3. Fill a large basin with hot water and pour shampoo into it. You can use ordinary shampoo or bath foam.
  4. Wash your feathers in soapy water with your hands. They say that it is more effective and easier to do this with your feet. Then drain the dirty water and rinse the feathers several times in clean water. Pull the bag of feathers off.



  5. Further, if you are sure of the density of the sewn bags, you can send it to the washing machine and turn on the “press” mode so that the feathers dry faster.
  6. Now move the bags with feathers on the dryer or bench under the sun. Spread and evenly distribute the feathers so that they are completely dry. At a temperature of +35 pillows dry per day. You can hang bags with feathers on a rope and from time to time shake them from the bottom up. It is important that the feathers dry completely.



  7. When the feathers are completely dried, sprinkle them into a new cavalry and sew it up. That's all, you can sleep sweetly on a clean feather pillow.
