Restoring Vital Services — Pillows
Most foam, fiberfill, or feather pillows can be washed in the machine. Wash them two-at-a-time so the washer tub will be balanced. Don't dry foam pillows in the clothes dryer.
If ticking on feather pillows is in poor condition, empty feathers into large pillow slip of bag and wash the ticking and the feathers separately. If the ticking is in good condition, open a few inches of the seam in opposite corners of the pillow. Sew loosely by hand so water can get in and out without letting the feathers out. Feather pillows can be dried in a dryer or on the clothesline. Shake pillows often to unlump feathers.
