In washing a gel or gel topper pillow, you should always wash the cooling gel pillow by hand. Try baking soda to eliminate the odour if your pillow stinks. You may clean the stains with soap and water for a gel cushion with stains.
Technique 1: Stains and marks removal
Take the case off
Remove the pillow case and wash it as directed on the care tag before cleaning your pillow. Most instances may be washed by machine. This manner, when you have washed, you will have a clean case on the cushion.
● It is better to wash hands or dry if you have silk pillows.
● Before you wash them, read the label.
● Mix soap with water until the water is covered with bubbles.
● Combine 1-2 cups of water and a few drops of dish soap in a medium-sized basin.
● Mix until the water is covered with bubbles.
● If you have difficulty in building bubbles, add a few extra drops of dish soap to the water and continue sifting.
If your pillow has a foul odor add vinegar to the mixture
● Add 1–2 teaspoons (15–30 mL) of vinegar to the soapy water when the pillow/stain has a strong aroma.
● Remove quickly.
● Even very strong fragrances, such as wine or oils, are removed by vinegar.
Use white vinegar where feasible. Other vinegar kinds might leave a film over the pillow behind.
To rub the bubbles on the discoloration, use a wet towel
● Rub the pillow softly on the moistened clothor sponge, then rub it until the stain is gone.
● A few times before the stain buds, you mayneed to use the soap again.
When the stain is gone, but a shadow remains behind the gel, attempt to immediately puta drop of dish soap on the bamboo pillow and flake it to the surface.
To remove persistent stains, use a cotton bucket soaked in 3% hydrogen peroxide
If your stain has a harder one, such blood or oil, plug in the end of a cotton swab, which you can purchase in the food shop,in 3% hydrogen peroxide. Then, brush back and forth the cotton swab over the stain until it goes off.
Wipe the cushion with a wet towel once the stain is gone to eliminate any residual peroxide of hydrogen.
Before reinstalling the cover, let the cushion dry fully. Let the cushion dry for at least 2 hours in a well-ventilated location. Touch the pillow for 2 hours and then place the pillow in the cover to ensure that it's totally dry.
In order to accelerate the procedure, after using soap and water, you may wash the surface of the pillow with a dry cloth.
