The process for cleaning insect repellent stains off of pillows will depend on the type of fabric your cushions are made from. It is important to check the labels for instructions tailored for specific material, so you know what products and cleaning processes you should use.
Cotton is a relatively simple fabric to clean, and you may easily be able to remove insect repellent stains using water, detergent and bleach if needed.
You will need to take extra care when cleaning synthetic fibres such as acrylic and nylon, as harsh chemicals or too high a temperature can damage the fabric.
With just a few simple steps, it is possible to remove insect repellent stains from pillows so that they look as good as new. Whether you have cotton or synthetic fibre covers, make sure to always check the fabric label for instructions tailored for your specific material.
