How to Keep Your Goose Down Pillows Fluffy
Using a goose down pillow for the first time is like riding on a one-way train to Sleeptown, USA. Goose down pillows are a luxury sleeping item, and if you want to continue punching your ticket on the sleepy train, you need to follow these tips to care for your pillows.
Before you sleep on your new pillows:
Remove all pillow tags after you buy a new pillow. Plastic tags feel awful when they smash up against your face. However, the tags are important. Since they have all the care instructions, keep your pillow tags in a safe spot near the washroom for future reference.
Ways to keep your pillows fresh:
Pillow protectors are a great investment to keep you down pillows clean and oil free. Most protectors have 400-threat count, 100 percent cotton shells that block away humidity and sweat that threaten the integrity of the pillow over time. Throw your pillow protectors in the wash with your bedding laundry every two weeks.
Steps for washing and drying your pillows:
About every month, you should take the time to wash your pillows. Due to the nature of down feathers, it’s best to use warm water with a wax and oil free down feather detergent to reduce clumping. After the first wash cycle, allow your pillows to go through two more additional rinse cycles to remove all the soap residue.
After the pillows finish in the wash, always avoid line drying them. When down pillows hang on the line, the feathers clump together. Instead, throw them in the dryer on tumble heat for an hour. Use fluff balls, tennis ball or even shoes with the pillows to beat out the lumps and bumps while they dry.
When you take care of your pillows, they take care of you. Use these tips to enjoy many years of sound sleep with your goose down pillows.
