Pillow is a bedding that every household needs, and a pillow suitable for yourself can play a role in protecting the cervical spine and improving sleep quality.
However, if the pillow is placed under the head, it will slowly accumulate dirt such as sweat, oil, and dander as it is used over time. After a long time, it is easy to breed bacteria, mites, and odors.
We need to remove dirt and bacteria from the pillow regularly to keep it clean and hygienic. In addition to helping your body and sleep quality, this can also reduce pillow deformation and aging, and can prolong the life of your pillow.
When it comes to cleaning pillows, many people use laundry detergent, laundry detergent, and soap directly for scrubbing. In addition to this, there is an even more magical and useful method. That is, put a plastic bag on the pillow.
I didn't expect it to be so useful, every family needs it. Let's take a look at the specific role and operation, which is too practical.
First, the specific operation of "pillow sleeve plastic bag".
Materials needed: black plastic bag + toilet water + watering can.
1. Make toilet water disinfectant
Add an appropriate amount of toilet water and water to the watering can and make the mixture in a ratio of 1:10. And shake the mixture evenly, so that the flower water mixture is completed, and it can be used for disinfection.
2. Spray disinfectant
Take out the pillow core that needs to be cleaned, and spray the prepared disinfectant on top of the pillow core. You don't need to spray too wet, just a slightly moist surface.
3. Put it in a plastic bag
Take out a black plastic bag and put the core of the pillow sprayed with disinfectant inside. Also, try to get the air out of the bag as much as possible, and then tie the mouth of the plastic bag tightly.
4. Exposure
Finally, take the pillow that has been packed into a plastic bag to the sun. Choose the hottest time in the middle of the day and expose it to the sun for 2-3 hours.
Second, the role of the pillow case plastic bag
1. Why choose black plastic bags?
Black is known to absorb the heat of the sun more easily. In the summer, it is common to see the front of the house shaded with black mesh. The main thing is to reduce the surrounding temperature by absorbing heat from black.
We chose the black plastic bag in order to increase the heat and effectively increase the heat inside the plastic bag.
2. The role of wrapping plastic bags
The reason why you use a plastic bag to wrap the pillow core is to choose a black plastic bag. It is to collect more heat on the pillow core, and kill bacteria, mites and other harmful microorganisms on the pillow core through a sealed environment and disinfectant.
Spraying the toilet water disinfectant on the surface of the pillow core can not only effectively sterilize, but also leave a fragrant smell and effectively remove odors.
Compared with direct exposure, after wrapping a plastic bag, it can not only ensure the effect of sterilization, disinfection and mite removal, but also avoid the aging problem caused by exposure to the sun, and effectively extend the service life of the pillow.
3. Change your pillow regularly
In addition to proper cleaning, pillows need to be changed regularly. Even if you extend the life of the pillow, there will be times when it is damaged.
Generally speaking, the pillow needs to be changed once every 1-2 years. Because after a long period of use, the pillow will slowly lose its elasticity, thus reducing the quality of sleep. Change your pillow regularly so that it remains supportive and hygienic.
