By Douglas Scott


Sleep is a requirement for everyone to keep going in life. In having the desired comfortable sleep, mattresses and pillows take a very important role. Hence, they give people a cozy sleep or sitting and help the body relax.

In houses, pillows are usually used. Americans usually have 2 to 3 or more in their living or bed room. There are many kinds of pillows that everybody could pick. Faux fur pillows are some of those with its amazing kind.

These pillows are not just useful in bed. These are also used in living room, to use as decorations. They have an exquisite texture and appeal, they are very cute and comfy, which is good for sleeping and cuddling.

However, they might contain certain bacteria that can cause infections to the skin, lungs that may spread to the other parts of the body like brain. This is the reason why keeping them clean, especially with this kind is very essential. How long you have been keeping them and how often you clean or wash them must always be remembered.

Researchers have suggested that people should replace them after six months of use. However, you can use another approach on knowing it. Fold the pad, if it springs back to shape, then, the item is still okay, but if it does not, then you should replace it.

Knowing the ways of keeping them clean and soft, especially for faux fur ones which are basically one of those complicated ones is essential. They can be washed either by your own hands, or by a particular washing machine. You just have to be more cautious.

For machine washing, put the faux fur item in the machine, turn it inside out to keep the fur, set the machine into using a cold water and the cycle that handles delicate ones. Use a gentle laundry soap and a conditioner for fabrics, then rinse it using a cold water. To absorb the water that excesses, roll it in a towel, shake it off and put it back into its original shape.

In hand washing, wash it in a cold or lukewarm water, still use a mild laundry detergent that is designed for hand washing. Shake the water before putting them, then start. Afterwards, remove the water from it by rolling it using a thick towel, shake it off, and put it back into shape.

Even if there have been a lot of changes towards designing a pillow, it still has the same main role in the life of people in terms of giving comfort to everyone. But because of those bacteria or mites that targets in affecting the health, people should not undermine the importance of cleaning them. Wash the pads twice or thrice in two weeks, use cold water most of the time, but spend some time in washing them with hot water so that mites will be killed and the infections that they can cause can be avoided.
