Wash a synthetic pillow

By optimist Icon_missing_medium

NOT FOR FEATHER OR DOWN PILLOWS

If you have synthetic pillows (just in case there is any Euro/US terminology confusion, I'm talking about the rectangular, cotton covered, synthetic filled things you put your head on in bed!) that need to be freshened up, you will probably find that a label says, hand wash only. The reason for this is usually because in a machine the inner will roll itself up into a knot. Hand-washing a pillow is not very successful though, and who wants to snuggle their face into a dry-cleaned, chemical treated pillow?

One solution is to 'quilt' the pillow so the inner does not move. Find a large needle and thread with a good length of strong or doubled thread. Shake the pillow into shape then push the needle » READ MORE

Thanks for taking the time to check out my curbly profile and read the article I wrote on staging vacant properties. Clearly you are missing the point of staging a home for sale. The property does not come with the furniture, it is there to provide a point of reference for room size, fuctionality and flow. You mention the word "bland" and I can see your point, however the key to effective home staging is to remain neutral in decor while highlighting the physical features of the property. This is a proven method for appealing to the broadest possible range of potential buyers. After all, it is the property for sale and not the contents. I invite you to check out our website for more information and examples of what we do to merchandise property.

Kind regards,
