Keeping Up Faux Fur Pillows At Home

By Douglas Scott


Sleep is a requirement for everyone to keep going in life. In having the desired comfortable sleep, mattresses and pillows take a very important role. Hence, they give people a cozy sleep or sitting and help the body relax.

Americans usually own two to three pillows on their sofa for their living room, or bed. They are much used at home, so having different kinds of it is an advantage. Faux fur pillows are among of those beautiful and comfortable kinds of pillows.

Physically wise, these are considered as one of the cutest. They are so cute and very soft that gives a good feeling when people hug them or sleep on them. Aside from using them in bed, they are good decorations in sofa too because of their nice appeal and attractive texture.

Nevertheless, they could contain some bacteria that could cause some infections to people, like infections on the skin, or lungs that might spread to other parts of the body like the brain. That is why it is very important to keep them clean, especially fur pillows. It is a must to always wash them.

Researchers have suggested that people should replace them after six months of use. However, you can use another approach on knowing it. Fold the pad, if it springs back to shape, then, the item is still okay, but if it does not, then you should replace it.

It is vital to always remember in keeping them clean, especially for this kind of pillow. You should know how to clean them without damaging its texture and making sure of removing the dirt. In cleaning them, you could either use your hands or a washing machine.

In a washing machine, place the faux fur item in it, turn it inside out to limit the wear on the fur, set the washing machine to use cold water and the delicate wash cycle, use a mild laundry detergent for it, a fabric softener and rinse it with a cold water. Absorb excess water by rolling the item in a thick towel, shake it and put it into its original dimensions in careful manner to avoid damages.

In washing using hands, you still have to use cold or perhaps lukewarm water, with the same gentleness of a detergent, but make sure to use a detergent which is intended for this kind of washing. Shake the water to make suds, then, put the item and start washing them. After that, you can use the same process like when you are washing using a machine.

The shape and contents of pillow have changed over the time, yet, its main reason of existence and changes is to give comfort to everyone. But because of some mites or bacteria that could affect the health, it is always necessary not to take them for granted and to make sure that they are always clean. Wash them once a week, and even if you wash them in a cold water, also make sure that you could wash them at least twice a month with a hot one to kill some mites.
