How do you wash pillows, blankets, and towels in the washing machine or dryer?

Answer 1

Pillows:
Follow directions on the tag or...
1. Wash on gentle cycle, warm/cold. Use detergent and non-chlorine bleach.
2. Rinse twice.
3. Spin twice.
4. Dry on low, fluff the pillows a few times during the cycle. Drying will take more than one cycle.
I would wash only two at a time for standard size. Buy some pillow protectors! This will keep them fresh and clean, then you can just wash the protectors with the sheets. Have a set of protectors for each set of sheets.

Blankets:
Depends on the material. Follow the directions on the tag. In general, wash warm/cold, dry medium or low.

Towels:
Follow directions on the tag or...
1. Wash warm/cold with a bit less detergent than normal. Use a non-chlorine bleach if desired. You can add 1 cup of white vinegar to the wash to restore absorbency if you use fabric softener.
2. Dry on medium.

Answer 2

Wash the pillows and blanket in a large load gentle cycle. Dry them in the dryer unless the blanket or towel material will shrink. For pillows, thick comforters, or winter coats, I add two pair of little kid canvas tennis shoes (tennis balls work too) to knock out the clumping that can occur. I wash towels in with my other stuff the same color and just dry them the same too.

Answer 3

With the pillows, JUST WASH THE PILLOW CASES, NOT THE PILLOWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wash the blankets & towels & pillow cases using the regular cycle & adjust water level according to how big a load you got. You can dry all them in the dryer for 45 minutes on regular cycle. Clean the lint screen & put in a bounce sheet(anti-static fabric softener) That's easier than putting liquid fabric softener in the washer. I always forget it.

Answer 4

Just make sure your pillows are not down....those cannot be washed.
