“Pillow core must be washed and dried frequently.” Wang Lianglu, Professor of allergy Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, pointed out in an interview with life times that, “We used buckwheat skin pillow core to do experiments, and found that there were a lot of dust, mites and molds inside the pillow core that had never been washed. There were also reports abroad that half of the pillow core that had never been washed was dust mites and molds. Therefore, it is likely to endanger our health if we never clean the pillow core. Generally speaking, ordinary families should clean it at least once every three months. If someone in the family is allergic to dust mites, it is better to clean it first before cleaning it Put the pillow core in the sun. ” Li Hongzhu, associate researcher of Tianjin Institute of pharmaceutical research, suggested that different pillow inserts should be cleaned in different ways.
Chemical fiber pillow core: wrap a towel and wash it. The price of this kind of pillow is relatively cheap, but due to the poor permeability of chemical fiber, it is easy to deform, caking, lose elasticity, and affect the health of the spine. Therefore, in addition to frequent cleaning, it is also important to replace it at least once a year. When cleaning, use a mild detergent. If it is machine washed, it is better to wrap a large towel to balance the water flow and prevent deformation. It should be noted that the chemical fiber pillow core should be rinsed several times to fully rinse the washing liquid inside until the water becomes clear. Dry or shake the pillow as soon as possible after washing, which will help the pillow recover its elasticity and become soft and fluffy.
Down pillow core: add some white vinegar when rinsing. This kind of pillow is light, breathable, fluffy, not easy to deform, and can provide better support for the head. But the fly in the ointment is that it is not easy to clean. If not cleaned properly, the pillow core will be agglomerated instead. The down pillow core should not be machine washed. When washing with water, first immerse the pillow core in cold water for 20 minutes, then put it in warm water at 30 ℃, add neutral detergent for 15 minutes, and then gently brush it with a soft brush. When rinsing, add 4-5 tablespoons of white vinegar to a basin of warm water, which can neutralize the remaining alkaline detergent components in the down pillow core, so as to reduce the damage to the down. After washing, do not wring it too dry. Squeeze out the water with both hands. After drying in the shade, gently tap the pillow core to restore the fluffy and soft down.
Buckwheat skin pillow core: regularly remove debris. Buckwheat skin pillow core, tea pillow core, medicine pillow, etc. generally have the effect of health care and tranquilization. If washed with water, it will not only affect the health care effect, but also be easily moldy. However, this type of pillow core will produce some debris and dust if it is used for a long time, which is easy to cause allergy. Therefore, every once in a while, you can pour out buckwheat skins, tea leaves, etc., screen out the debris, spread them flat and put them in the sun to dry. Note that the pillow containing aromatic herbal ingredients should be dried in a cool and ventilated place.
Latex pillow core: do not directly expose to the sun. This kind of pillow has good elasticity, strong support, and is not easy to accumulate dust, especially suitable for people who are prone to respiratory allergy. When cleaning, first soak in cold water with detergent, then gently press with hands, and then rinse with clean water. After washing, use a dry cloth to absorb water, and place it in a cool place to dry. Do not expose it to the sun, so as to avoid oxidation and deterioration of the material.
