Tips on how to wash yellowed pillowcases

1. Soak in white vinegar for half an hour, then change the water and soak with laundry detergent or laundry liquid. Fill the basin with water, add a small amount of laundry detergent or laundry liquid, and then fully dissolve it. Then put the pillowcase in it and the yellowed substance will fall off after washing. If the yellowing problem is more serious, soak it for a while longer. Remember to change the water after soaking for more than 12 hours.

2. Wash with rice water. This method is suitable when the pillowcase has just turned yellow. Its advantage is that it is non-irritating to human skin, but its cleansing effect is not as strong. But it is suitable to use it to wash the pillowcase when it just starts to turn yellow and the color is not dark.

3. Wash your hair with your own shampoo. Shampoo is the best cleanser to remove the oil secreted by the hair. The main reason why pillowcases turn yellow is due to the oil secreted by sweat and hair, which oxidizes on the cloth over a long period of time. So it is best to use your own shampoo to wash it.

4. When washing the pillowcase, be sure to use cold water at first, do not use hot water, otherwise it will become more and more yellow, and the yellow substance will be difficult to wash off. You can soak it in 3% medical hydrogen peroxide for half an hour, then take it out and wash it with clean water. If you soak it in a solution containing indigo and rinse it, it can also be made as white as new.

5. Wind oil can also be used to clean pillowcases! However, be careful when using this method. Do not apply too much medicated oil. Dilute it and apply it to the yellowed areas. Soak it for a while and then use other cleaning items to clean it. This will easily clean the yellowed areas.

6. If the whole set is heat-resistant, you can choose a more violent method and directly put the pillowcase into hot water mixed with detergent and boil it. After boiling for a while, take it out and scrub it. If you encounter stubborn stains, use a brush to brush it to remove the yellowing and clean it.

7. If it is a light-colored or solid-colored pillowcase that will not fade, you can directly use bleach to soak and wash it. The effect is very significant and can fundamentally remove yellow dirt and grease. Although this method is the fastest and most effective, it also needs to be used with caution. If the fabric is not resistant to strong oxidants, the overall color will change drastically after bleaching, especially for pillowcases with more patterns. After bleaching, it is very likely that the weaving will be "completely unrecognizable"~

Isn’t it simple? If your pillowcase turns yellow, you can easily clean it. When cleaning, please note that the pillowcase should be placed in the sun before and after cleaning! Exposure to the sun before cleaning can help remove stains better, and exposure to the sun after cleaning can have a sterilizing and disinfecting effect.
