Pillows are such an important part of your sleeping routine. You need to ensure that you have the right type of pillow for a comfortable, goodnight’s sleep, otherwise you’re in for a long night ahead—you always have to make sure that you’re head isn’t propped up to high and out of line with your neck because that can cause stiffness in the neck muscles.
Aside from the type of pillow you use, it’s cleanliness is imperative as well. Normally, we think that it’s ok to simply wash the pillow covers because that’s what we have the most contact with when we’re sleeping. Right? Well, it’s time we rethink that and actually invest some time in cleaning not only the covers, but the pillow itself, as well.
They say that you should wash your pillow once every 3-6 months so this ensures that you’re regularly killing bacteria and dust mites. So how do you go about cleaning them? Check out the video below to see what the best way of going about cleaning your pillows is. It’s actually quite easy.
Before you begin, here’s what you’ll need:
