Francisco Perez omg that made me lol 😂

Me too, lol

Me too, im a 30 year old man, gotta keep my house looking good :)

I can beat that, I'm 22 lol

I'm 15

What's your point? Whether your 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, your never too young or too old to learn something. Unless you already know everything and at 30 years old you don't know SHIT

Borax is definitely NOT safe

Wheres the money lebowski?!

Bleach definitely will degrade memory foam, heads up. Drying them on high heat will sanitize them and kill dust mites.

Borax, like bleach, is safe when used as directed on product label

Milton sterilising fluid is Sodium Hypochlorite 1% + Sodium Chloride (salt) 16.5%; Bleach is Sodium Hypochlorite 3.5% - in other words just a stronger solution.

The heat from the clothes dryer will kill dust mites and most of the stuff you'd be worried about in a pillow. Unless they're moldy or mildewed, you can skip the bleach.

@Mike Studmuffin Unless Oprah's buying my pillows, I'm washing mine and get a good 5-10 years out of quality ones 😂😂

I agree. Bleach and hard water even makes white fabric turn yellow. Best to leave it out.

I would dissolve everything in a jar, then add to washer.

place it on a plastic cup and pop it inside

Dissolve the powder in a pot hot water, then once the washer has filled and starts its cycle, hit the "pause"/add garment button so it unlocks, and add the pot of detergents. Close it back up and hit "play"/start button. Just wait until the washer has already added the water it's going to, if I add water at the very beginning, my washer will sense it and drain it out 🙄.

+McShifty033, is there a soak option on your front loading machine? You may try that, or soaking in the bathtub or wash tub works just as well.

Get yourself a plastic basin. Your local department store will surely have them.

now that's clever dude

Even if we throw away the covering of the pillow, doesn't sweat and other nasty fluids get into the padding?

Just sprinkle it straight in? I just did mine today and it comes out just fine.

Did you adjust the measurements for your front loader?

@@kimandrews2693 I didn't bother the measurements, I just pour a generous amount in , maybe a laundry cup full and the pillow came out alright, no sticky and stuff.

I mentioned on your other post, because it happened to a down pillow of mine, pause the cycle and push it down in the water so it has time to soak up the water instead of floating. It may take a few minutes. Only use the delicate or gentle cycle. The high thread count to keep the feathers in also makes the pillow not as absorbent. They also take longer to dry (and you want them really dry or they'll smell like a wet dirty duck), so do invest in some zipping pillow covers so that you don't have to wash the down pillows as often. You can just freshen them in between washes by putting them in the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes with a couple of tennis balls and a dryer sheet. That makes them smell nice, and the heat will kill dust mites if allergies are a problem for you.

I don't think all that powder will dissolve in a low water washer, maybe dissolve it in a pot of hot water, then add it to the washer once the cycle has started. I have a top loading one, but it is also HE, and that's how I trick it. It doesn't dissolve powdered detergents well at all.

I have an HE washer, and I dissolve the powders in hot water, then pour it into the detergent cup as the washer's filling. It normally only wants liquid detergent, but I can trick it. I don't know if it works on all washers, but the computer on mine can't tell, and I can get to the detergent cup while it's filling, I know some don't like that. I guess you could also pour the dissolved detergent water onto the pillows before you start the cycle? But also some of those will sense water in there and drain before it starts the cycle. Not always a fan of the robotic washers deciding what I can and can't do with my laundry 😂😂

Jennifer Guecho Maybe you could put the stuffing in some of those lingerie bags to wash it. That's what I'd do if I needed to.

You have to pause the washer and press them down into the water, so that gives them time to soak up the water, then they won't float to the top. Also only use the gentle or delicate cycle, so the covers don't tear. They also take about 2 hours to dry, but you want them really dry or they'll smell like dirty ducks. So I got nice pillow covers for mine in addition to my pillowcases and keep those really clean, so I only have to wash the pillows every 6 months or so. You can freshen and fluff down pillows in between washing by putting them in the dryer on high for 10 minutes with a dryer sheet and a couple of tennis balls. The heat kills dust mites, and the tennis balls really fluff them and make them feel like new!

It`s simple, You can`t

You should be fine as long as the pillow isn't too heavy for the machine to become unbalanced and unable to spin

Well, Maybe if it`s a very light hollow fibre type and you have a very large drum, But a jug of bleach and a heavy pillow will put a real strain on the seals and bearings

i RECENTLY BOUGHT A PILLOW THAT--TO MY SURPRISE, SAYS IT CAN BE WASHED IN A DOMESTIC WASHING MACHINE, AND THE SYMBOL SHOWS A FRONT LOADER. USUALLY, THEY RECOMMEND A LAUNDERETTE ONE.

I have a front loading machine. I followed her instructions and I pushed the pause button when I wanted to soak. I was so stoked that it worked! now (maybe a year or so later) I need to do it again but the cascade turned into a brick! :-(. I have to wait to get some more tomorrow. I like the comment to use vinegar or lemon juice instead of bleach. I'm concerned for my septic regarding bleach. not sure why but I was told when I moved here (first time I've had a septic) not to use bleach. I know you wrote 3 years ago but maybe you too have to clean your pillow again?

+Estio I just let my LG Tromm do it's job. They use so little water to begin with and they fill based on the load size.

yes, i'd like to see how this is done 'in action' and not just talk.

+Scott Knudson very true !! what in the heck wouldn't come out white after all that soap??....lol...

Borax is the brand name for sodium borate, it's a laundry booster, it's also in dishwasher powder. You can also try washing soda, in the US, Arm and Hammer makes it, but it's also called sodium carbonate or soda ash. Most powdered detergents already have these ingredients in them, but you can add extra to boost the whitening and soften the water, so your detergent works better. The dishwasher powder she puts in there usually has washing soda in it too, most commercial ones do. Actually a cheap homemade dishwasher powder is mixing borax with washing soda. They both work by making detergents and soaps able to do their job of breaking up dirt and grease and suspending it in water to be washed away better.

There's usually a pause or add garment button that unlocks it once the cycle has started. That's the top loader ones, not sure about front loaders, but I'm sure there's a way to trick them too.

You’d have to load the remaining powders and bleach in the washing tub with the pillows

In Singapore use (vanish o2)

thats the chinese belt and road project taking over the world

+David Fletcher Yes!

yes but we didnt have them we would neck deep in dead skin cells

Try hydrogen peroxide... it works best on fresh stains so it might not get out very old ones, but for the future... maybe do a google search too cuz I’ve only tried it a few times...

@Point Venus 😂😂😂thanks

Was saying I thought she was gonna show us the before n after. Wash hers and show us the end result

CountryGirl4722 Leghorn chickens are you paid by HE ?? Take your obnoxious voice elsewhere

@@juliatruscott5504 HE isn't a brand, it stands for high efficiency 😂 You can get HE detergents in many different brands

Wash in cold water for blood stains. Hot water will set the blood into the fabric.

+Emit Poe Hydrogen Peroxide is the best stain remover for blood!

+Emit Poe Regular laundry detergent should be pretty good at that. But you might want to hide the body first. ;-)

+Emit Poe .... Hi emit poe ... Domestos, if you can get it in your location

No, this one is a serial killer don't help th- skajgbsaiuh *dead*

Laundromats have big washers if yours isn't. Worth a few quarters to have clean pillows, they only need to be washed every 4-6 months if you keep your pillowcases clean.

Rude

+CountryGirl4722 Leghorn chickens What's a HE washer.

+kate baker I have and it's and LG less than 8 years old.

+kate baker Well, she's from the US and we have top loaders here.

+Mary Mathewson Eikey +kate bakerBuy a Maytag washer. Mine's a top-loader and I have had it for 15 years. Still works like new. I wash my pillows with Tide and let them dry in the delicate dry cycle.

It's 2017 and I have a brand new top loading washing machine.....

WHY --WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE?

+Andrew Heenan Why did you feel the need to tell us, you had control of the mouse. Learn to click. We don't care about your issues....really we don't!

You don't quite get the idea of these discussions do you? Or maybe you're a fan of 4.5 minute boring videos? Or maybe you've stolen Dad's Bud again? Or perhaps that homework really is a doozy today ... who knows? Do share ... and I know you will, you're such a giving, generous person, aren't you?

+Andrew Heenan You're quite generous as well...

Mit Tressler Just trying to warn people, is all ;-)

Most people own washing machines and it requires less work and people may have other house chores to get done. I live in the US so that's just how most people do things here. I bet there are very few people living here that use a tub to do laundry (my grandma is one of them).

A married woman... stupid
