Do people not wash pillows? For heavy oil stains I have been using dish soap at about 50% concentration and adding it to the wash. A standard wash typically doesn't get it out because the detergent is too mild.
>>3000941Do you know how to dye squirrels?
nah I also don't wash my sheets maybe once in every 3 months or something
>>3000941>heavy oil stainsthat's what bleach is for, but if not bleach-safe oxy-clean works okay.
>>3000941>dish soap at about 50% concentration and adding it to the wash.You dilute the dish soap before adding it to the washing machine, which fills with probably 100x more water than the amount of soap you're putting in?
>>3000968Yes, it's a cup of dish soap. I actually just place it on the stains directly and make sure it's nice and even first, then put it in. I know dish soap is a bit harsh, but it's also stupid cheap and gets out tough oil stains like built up oil. The standard detergent has done nothing. My dad produces a lot of body heat, and I tried washing his bed sheets like 10x with no effect. So I stored it in the basement, and forgot about them. Then I rubbed down all the stains with dish soap then put it into the wash.
>>3000970You place the diluted dish soap on the stains? Do you let it sit for a while or just toss it right in the wash? I tried the conditioner "trick" but it did jack shit.
>>3000972I initially started by just squirting dish soap directly to the stain - but the only result was that EXACT spot that was squirted would be clean and the rest not. So I then resorted to a pre-wash scrub which is more about covering the entire thing in dish soap. The proper yellow-oil stains are more like a proper grease than a simple bit of dirt and grime so it needs something stronger.I would show SOME caution, as dish soap is rather harsh so don't use this on anything you actually like. But Iv'e done this with comforters and t-shirts and they're fine. Since it's so soapy, I often do a normal wash, then turn it over and then do a quick gentle wash.
I have feather/down pillows, and change the pillowcases every other day.I would guess you can't wash them, but I haven't looked into it.I also only use flat sheets, three at a time. One under me, one above me, and one on top of the duvet.Every other day I swap out the bottom one to a new sheet, and bump the rest of them upwards in the stack.So fresh one under me, 2 day old one on top of me, 4 day old one on top of the duvet.I've had plenty of people "think I'm normal" until they get a glimpse inside my closet, and see a shelf with 70+ folded flat sheets.
>>3000941What's the issue in that image? I do a spring clean once every year, where i toss in all pillow and seat sheets. Would be nice to have someone who actually cares about his stuff.Anyway, we got soda based soap here, i just toss a small amount in the chamber and it works well if needed. When i get oil stains, they're usually on my work clothes. So i just rub them off.
>>3000984>What's the issue in that image?Retard woman throws out a nice pillow instead of cleaning it and instead gives you garbage memory foam.
>>3000976When grandma died we found the same in her linen closet. She also had boxes and boxes of various kinds of soap, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, garbage bags, etc. Anything that didn't expire she would stock up on when it was on sale. I mean, it was a kind of hoarding but she was very neat and organized. Is there a specific name for that?Anyway, she would change her sheets every few days and hated fitted sheets because you couldn't fold them nicely. She died in 1997 and I still have some of her sheets and towels. Mostly Sears and Lady Pepperell, all super old and made in the USA. The patterns of some of them. Jesus. Picture related. I have this exact set.
>>3001040Based tasteful grandma
If we're making this the laundry general, anyone else find that this detergent makes your clothes smell like shit?
>>3001054as often as possible

>>3000941washing the pillow is like washing the mattressthat's why you use pillow case, dumbassif your pillow starts getting gross you fet a new one, just like you get new mattress
>>3000985Memory foam from the early 2000’s was incredible stuff. I still use a pillow when I was a boy. It’s like an orange bloco of cool clay. Shortly after they came out with mass market stuff like in your pic.
>>3000941Can't really wash a pillow without ruining the pillow. There's oil coating the down in there and anything strong enough to get your human grease out of there is going to take everything else with it.
>>3001180Yeah, well it hasn't for me? I wash pillows all the time.
>>3000976Bro just get a good quality pillow protector and you wont have to worry
>>3000941Ok just put some dish soap in my washer? Sounds easy enough, nothing will go wrong
>>3000941>detergent too mildDoesn't washing itself wreack havoc on the down, let alone dstergent?IIRC the only way tk really wash a pillow is taking it to a place whwre it is opened, the down is then professionally cleaned (however that works) and the whole thing filled and sewn again. I imagine at that point you might just get new cloth for the pillow instead of washing and reusing it.
>not a single post about using vinegar in the wash instead of fabric softener
>>3000976>I would guess you can't wash them, but I haven't looked into it.I have Ikea down pillows and it says you can wash them. I do and the yellow sweat stains generally turn white again with regular detergent. If they don't I add a bit of whatever and Bob's your auntie
I wash my bed linnens every two weeks, and have no issues with sebum on my sheet or duvet cover, but I have to sleep with a fresh towel on my pillow every day, or that fucker will get oily enough for the americans to consider an invasion.It has also helped with keeping my skin clear.
