26 / 51 Cycling Through Pillows

Your pillows don't need to be washed as often as your sheets, but it's a good idea to wash them every three months or so. Simply toss them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with hot water to get rid of dead skin cells and sweat. When drying, throw in several clean tennis balls to help speed up the process and prevent the pillow filling from clumping.
