i have feather pillows..but it is getting to be a hassel..those i did throw into the washer..i want to know..what can i do about foam filled pillows..can i wash them? i assume that i cannot put them into a dryer? can I? to dry after i would wash them..that is if i can wash them?Is it possible to put into the washer foam filled pillows that we sleep on? if not..how do i clean them/wash?
I did wash one a long time ago because the tag on the pillow said we could wash them, and it did fine. No, we cannot put them in the dryer, they will come to pieces.
I put ours outside to dry. Don't forget to turn them over in a couple of hours to let the other side dry too.
However.....if they are old, they will come apart in the washer and you will have a mess on your hands.
Pillows are on sell now at J.C. Penney's. We just bought two Sealy posturepedic for under $20.00.
I like to put a zip cover over ours, and then the pillow case. I wash both once per week (cover and case). This keeps the pillows clean longer.

Wash them probably at laundrymat with commercial size washer and dry them on medium heat with tennis balls (two) just as you would a down comforter or pillow.
Yes, you can wash them in the washer--but when you put them in the dryer, the foam may ball up, depending on the quality of the pillow. I've HEARD that if you put a couple of tennis balls in the dryer with them, it will keep the foam/fiberfill beat evenly in them. I haven't tried it yet.
Check the content and care labels. Generally, if pillows are filled with foam, they can be washed by hand in a large sink or bathtub using mild detergent and warm water. Air-dry them (the foam can crumble in the dryer).
If they're polyester, the pillows can be tossed into the washing machine. Wash two at a time to balance the load, and set machine on the gentle cycle; agitate only one to two minutes. Once detergent is totally rinsed out, tumble-dry on low, fluffing them often. (Note: The same procedure works for down pillows, but they'll take much longer to dry. Before laundering, check seams to be sure they're secure. And place a couple of tennis balls or an old clean tennis shoe in the dryer with the pillows to help plump them up.) Using a fabric-softener sheet in the dryer should add a fresh fragrance.
If the pillows have been around for a while, or you absolutely can't get rid of the odor, replace and recycle them to use as bedding for pets. Fortunately, most pillows are relatively inexpensive, and it's money well spent when you consider how much we use them (every night!) and how long they last.
take to a laundry mat use a front end washer with mild soap
