how do you clean thow pillows? To get rid of cat hair & dander?

Question

A friend gave me these fabolous throw pillows and she has 2 cats how also loved them, I am allergic to cats and my daughter have respitory problems. Is there a way to clean the pillows well enough to bring them into my home w/o affecting my allergies and my daughters breathing?

Answer 1

To remove cat hair from the pillows, first put on a pair of rubber or latex gloves, the kind doctors use. Rub your hand in one direction over the pillows, this will pick up the cat hair. Then throw them in the washing machine and then the dryer. If they can't be washed, bring them to the dry cleaners or buy the home dry cleaning kit.

Answer 2

Put the pillows into a pillowcasse, like you use on your bed. One pillow to each case. Then TIE them shut and toss in the washer. Use BABY SHAMPOO as it has no bleach in it. Personally, I use that on 'dry clean only' items for that reason, it works great. Then toss in the dryer on low for a very little bit. Then air dry.

Answer 3

I would first vacuum them very very well. then I would put them in the dryer for at least a half an hour, the heat will kill any germs, then when you are done with that I would spray them with the new clorox bacterial spray. I do that to my throw pillows any way once a month.

Answer 4

Put them in the dryer on air fluff.
