How often should you wash your pillow?

Question

How often should you wash your pillowcase, and how often should you wash your pillow? I assume nasty germs can build up in the pillow from drool and whatnot that gets in there.

Answer 1

Wash you pillow case every month. I wouldn't suggest washing you pillow, because it doesn't really clean everything. What you should do is buy another pillow every six months.

Answer 2

wash your pillow case everytime u change your bed , which means at least once a week . i change all our beds 2 times a week especially with the hot weather and the smelly bodys that prespire during the nite. wash your pillow one time a month unless it is a feather pillow then u cant wash it or the feathers will matt up. if u have a feather pillow place it outside in the sunshine for one to 4 hours and it will smell fresh and clean. and yes germs get in the pillow when u drool and stuff like that. good luck and i hope this helped u...

Answer 3

Because bacteria and germs can grow, you should wash your pillowcases at least once a week. I usually wash my pillows 3-4 times per year.

Answer 4

I wash the pillows each week. Polyester fluff fill. I don't even take the piloow case off just throw the whole thing in the washer.

Answer 5

Wash the pillow cover every week! Washing the pillow depends on type and how sweaty or dirty your head is. My DH sweats easily and tends to be a big oily.........he'll never have wrinkles! His pillow is washed every month, replaced every year. Mine I stretch out about twice as long.

I read somewhere you should replace your pillow every six months! Yipes! Apparently dust mites are very difficult to eliminate from pillows.

Answer 6

Yeah I agree with other people here. Wash probably once a week.

Answer 7

Wash only washable ones. If not, change them every year.

Answer 8

at least every two weeks

Answer 9

every 1000,000,000 light year.
