How to keep pillows fluffy and soft - pillows should be dried frequently to sterilize
Pillow is a sleeping tool. It is generally believed that pillows are fillers used by people for the comfort of sleep.

3. Pass clean water until the pillow is rinsed, and finally squeeze out the excess water.
4. Lay the pillow flat and dry it, which will make it softer and more fluffy.
What should you pay attention to when washing pillows by machine:
1. Use mild detergent to wash.
2. Use a large washing machine to wash two pillows at the same time. If you can only hold one, it is best to add a towel to wash it together to balance the water flow.
3. If dried, the pillow will be easier to restore its original elasticity and be softer and more fluffy.
