Scissors for cutting open any plastic packaging materials that may come with your new pillow and removing tags from both sides of the pillow case/covering before washing it in hot water with detergent, which will help get rid of any excess oils left behind after manufacturing process has ended; this is important because those extra oils can attract bacteria growth overtime!

Dry the pillow with a towel, then use a hair dryer on low heat until it's completely dry (this will help prevent mold growth). If you don't have access to these tools, just make sure you air out your memory foam pillows after washing them in the washing machine; this should be enough time for them to dry completely before putting them back on your bed!
Equipments
You will need the following equipment:
-
Vacuum cleaner - to remove dust and dirt from pillows.
-
Pillow case - to protect your pillow during cleaning process, we recommend using a cotton pillowcase because it's more gentle on memory foam than synthetic materials like polyester or nylon. Cotton is also breathable and allows air flow, which helps to prevent mold growth on your pillow if left damp for too long after washing. We recommend using two cases at once so that one can be used as a drying rack while the other dries in the dryer!
-
Washing machine - Use warm water with mild detergent (like Woolite) and tumble dry low heat setting until completely dry before putting back into use again! Do not use bleach or fabric softener when washing as these products could damage your product over time if used frequently enough throughout its lifespan."
Step by Step
-
Remove the pillow from its packaging and remove it from its case.
-
Wash the pillow in a frontloading washing machine on a gentle cycle, using warm water and mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener; these will break down the materials used to make your memory foam pillow over time, resulting in decreased comfort and support for your head and neck as well as reduced longevity of use (as opposed to regular pillows).
-
Once you've washed your new memory foam pillow successfully, let it air dry before putting it back on your bed!
How Often Should You Wash A Memory Foam Pillow?
It's important to wash your memory foam pillow when it gets dirty, starts to smell, or if you notice any stains or tears. You should also wash the pillow if you find that it has a strange odor that was not there before.
If these are not reasons for washing your pillow then once a month should be sufficient for most people as long as they take good care of their pillows by cleaning them regularly with a vacuum cleaner and/or dust mop (if necessary).
