Steps to Clean Medicine Stains from Pillows
- Soak the stained area of the pillow with cold water. This will soften the stain and make the cleaning process easier.
- Mix one tablespoon of laundry detergent with two cups of warm water. For tougher stains, add one tablespoon of borax as well.
- Dip a soft bristle brush into the mixture and scrub stained area gently. Don't scrub too hard as this can damage the fabric.
- Rinse the pillow with cold water and then soak it in a bowl filled with one part white vinegar and two parts cold water for 15 minutes.
- Take the pillow out of the bowl and use a mild dishwashing soap to spot-clean the remaining stain.
- Rinse off the remaining soap and allow the pillow to dry.
Additional Tips
- Never use hot water to clean medicine stains as this can set the stains in the fabric.
- To avoid any further damage, always pre-test the cleaning solution on a small area of the fabric before using it.
- Be sure to read and follow the care instructions on the pillow's label before cleaning it.
