Old dirty limp pillow |
My daughter has a chair and a half that she has used a lot, reading to her children, napping and just general use. The pillow for the chair had gotten very beat up and pretty dirty.
I found on Pinterest a link to a blog showing how to clean antique linens. Even though this wasn't an antique, I used the idea to clean the cover. I removed the stitches at the bottom of the cover and threw out the old pillow form.
I then mixed the Biz and Oxy-Clean and added the hot water. It did spill over onto the floor so I just placed an old bathmat under the bucket. I placed the pillow cover in the bucket and soaked it for two days. That water was gross. I throughly rinsed it and washed it a couple of times with just vinegar.
After it was all clean and dry, I got a new pillow form and put it inside. I did use the sewing machine to quickly close up the bottom, not easy with the plump form inside. She now has a new, clean, plump pillow for her chair and a half. She just needs to get the chair cleaned.
