Cleaning Pillows - Pinterest Style 

While browsing Pinterest I came across a posting about washing pillows. I followed the directions from Clean My Space Blog.

Don't judge my before pillows, these pillows stay on the sofa. Everything gets eaten, spilled, dropped, etc. on these pillows by a 2.5 year old. He hates leaving the pillow cases on.

This was my experience...


I used All Clear and about a cup of White Vinegar.

As you can see the pillows do look better than before but I think next time I'm in the store I'll pick up a few new ones.

My conclusion: This may work if you don't have a toddler. :-)
