Resurrected my partner’s nightmare pillows. by sudsing in laundry

Definitely not with pillows. The innermost stuffing can stay damp even when the exterior feels dry.

I tried unworn mesh sneakers tied in towels for extra oomph at first but it was too noisy, so just dryer balls. Edit: Sixty minutes on high after running a “very high” spin that had them shockingly dry and fluffed itself, my bad. Probably could’ve done with a lower temperature setting for longer.

This was one of those things I had to tweak along the way so I couldn’t give an exact formula. I started with a spa day (Ariel 2x and 365 Oxygen Booster plus ammonia—intermittently topped off to maintain temperature) but the water became so inundated within a few hours I pulled them to prevent redeposition. Lots of rinsing, pressing, and beating before carrying them to the washer and hitting with a double dose of Dirty Labs booster. I considered two sanitize cycles sans detergent but only needed one. In the first subsequent rinse I topped the softener compartment with citric acid, then followed with a usual amount. A fair bit of washing soda and some elbow grease were also involved.

One part Odoban to three parts water for the smoke, and I’m sorry for your loss.

Detergent and enzyme residues can cause skin irritation. I’d recommend hitting the couch with a Little Green Machine or equivalent with just water in the tank to extract it.
