In the hustle and bustle of a big city, we often take care of visible things: we change bed linen, remove dust, clean carpets. But there is an object with which we spend almost a third of our lives, and which remains in the shadows — a pillow.

At first glance, if the pillowcase is clean and fresh, the pillow itself is fine. But in reality, everything is different: the pillow holds a whole story — the nights when we sweated from the heat, the days when we fell asleep with wet hair, the morning hours when we buried our face in a soft cloth after makeup. And all this settles deep inside the filler.

According to experts in the field of sleep hygiene, after six months, millions of dust mites, colonies of bacteria and allergens can be found in the pillow. And after a couple of years, the weight of the pillow may increase by 10-15% due to accumulated dirt and microscopic organisms.

EcoClean is an expert in professional pillow cleaning

EcoClean is a new generation cleaning company specializing in eco-friendly cleaning of soft products: carpets, mattresses, furniture and, of course, pillows.

One of the key areas is the pillow cleaning service. This is a multi-step process, the purpose of which is to return the pillow to freshness, purity and shape without damaging the filler.

EcoClean pillow cleaning process

Step 1. Diagnosis and definition of the method. 

First, the specialist evaluates the type of pillow — down, synthetic, latex, bamboo. This is important: each fabric and filler requires its own approach.

Step 2. Removal of dry dirt. 

With the help of special equipment, dust, hair, skin particles and other microparticles are extracted from the depths of the pillow.

Step 3. Gentle wet cleaning or steam treatment. 

Only hypoallergenic, health-friendly products are used that do not destroy the structure of the fabric and filler.

Step 4. Drying under controlled conditions. 

The temperature and time are adjusted to prevent shrinkage or deformation.

Step 5. Disinfection and protection. 

The final stage is the complete destruction of bacteria and mites with the effect of prolonged purity.

Debunking Myths: The Truth about Pillow Cleaning

Many people still treat cleaning pillows as an unnecessary service, guided by outdated ideas. EcoClean shares facts that will help change the way we look at pillow cleaning.

Myth 1: “It’s enough to wash the pillowcase once a week.”

Reality: The pillowcase only protects the surface. The main pollutants and colonies of microorganisms live and multiply deep inside the filler. Washing the pillowcase does not affect them.

Myth 2: “Synthetic pillows don’t get dirty or stink.”

Reality: Synthetics are less hygroscopic than natural materials, but they still accumulate dust, skin particles, sweat, and grease. Bacteria and fungi thrive on synthetics, causing odors and potential problems.

Myth 3: “Down pillows can not be washed – they will spoil.”

Reality: High-quality down pillows can and should be cleaned! The key lies in the right technology (delicate water extraction, special detergents for fluff, mandatory professional drying with molds and constant stirring). EcoClean successfully cleans down without loss of properties.

How often do you need to clean pillows?

For healthy adults — once every six months.

For people with allergies — once every 3-4 months.

For baby pillows — every 2-3 months.

Tips from EcoClean on how to keep your pillows clean.

• Use protective covers with antibacterial impregnation.

• Change the pillowcases at least once a week.

• Ventilate the pillows outdoors in dry weather.

• Do not store pillows in places with high humidity.

EcoClean and environmental care

Unlike many cleaning services, EcoClean uses only hypoallergenic and biodegradable products. This means that there is no chemical smell after the procedure, and the fabric and filler are not exposed to aggressive influences. This approach is safe for people, pets, and the environment.
