Chemical fiber pillow
When washing, use a mild detergent such as machine wash, preferably with a large towel, to balance the flow of water and prevent deformation.

Dry or spin as soon as possible after washing to help the pillow regain its elasticity and become soft and fluffy.

The most convenient thing about latex pillows is that they can be washed with water. Natural latex pillows are easy to clean by hand. Try not to wash them in a washing machine or other machines. Latex is very soft and easy to be twisted.
Latex pillow Cleaning Method 2: Squeeze
When hand washing, try to squeeze as much as possible. Since latex pillows absorb a lot of water when washed, they double in weight. When taking out the water surface, do not grab a small corner and pull it up and move, the pillow absorbs water, and it will break if it is too heavy. It must be like tofu, hold the center of gravity and most of the volume, and carefully remove the water surface.

After washing, use a towel or other absorbent material, press to dry, and avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight. If you want to speed up the drying time, it is recommended to squeeze the bottom with your hands every 2-3 hours after hanging to drain excess water and blow dry with an electric fan.
