in recent years, people pay more and more attention to the health status. In order to improve the sleep quality, many people will buy latex pillows. Latex pillows are made of natural materials. In Thailand, many people will buy latex pillows. However, if the latex pillows are used for a long time, it is easy to turn yellow. What is the matter? How should the latex pillows be cleaned?
Natural latex pillow is a kind of natural latex extracted from rubber tree, which is a very healthy and environmental protection material, but this material is very easy to oxidize, and it will turn yellow when exposed to the air for a long time, which is very normal.
In addition, after exposure to the sun, it will accelerate the oxidation of the outer layer. After oxidation, the color of natural latex will change from milky white to yellow and from soft to hard. If this happens to a latex pillow, it will at least prove that you are less likely to buy fake goods.
Latex pillows have good air permeability and moisture absorption, so when there is more sweat, it is usually only necessary to use a hair dryer for daily drying. For the latex pillow that has been used for a period of time, the correct cleaning method can keep the pillow clean and sanitary.
Cleaning method of latex pillow
Clean dust
First, use a vacuum cleaner to suck the surface of the pillow or mattress. In this step, remove the dust on the surface.
Clean stains
If it's only a small area, just wipe it with a wet towel and put it in a cool and ventilated place. It can be reused in a few days.
Manual cleaning
It is not recommended to wash the latex pillow. If you wash it, you can't use detergent. Try not to put it into the washing machine or other machine and equipment for washing. The latex is very soft and easy to be twisted.
Extrusion mode
When washing by hand, try to use extrusion method as much as possible because this product will absorb a lot of water and double the weight. When taking out the water surface, do not grab a small corner and pull it up to move. The pillow will absorb water and break if it is too heavy. It must be carefully taken out of the water surface like tofu holding the center of gravity and most of the volume.
Air drying method
After cleaning, towel or other materials that will absorb water shall be used to dry with both hands to avoid direct exposure to the sun. If you want to speed up the drying time, it is recommended to press the bottom with your hands every 2-3 hours after hanging to drain the excess water or use an electric fan.
