How to wash pillows by hand

For pillows that are not machine washable, hand washing is the best option. Fill a large sink or bathtub with warm water and mild detergent.

Gently submerge the cushions and brush away any dirt with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and squeeze out any excess moisture.

Spot cleaning

You can remove food or sweat stains with spot cleaning. Prepare a solution of water and mild detergent, and then blot the stain with a clean cloth dampened in the solution.

Start cleaning from the edges and work your way inward. The process should be continued until the stain disappears.
