Question

How do I wash pillows in the washing machine

Answer 1

It really depends on what the filling is made of  I suppose. If your pillows are filled with feathers or similar you would need to remove cover and wash separately, and then refill.                                        If your pillows have just ordinary fillings I would personally just replace pillows after a while, purely from a hygiene point of view!

Answer 2

Was them on a 30. As the heat will cause them to shrink.

Answer 3

Wash them as you would regular clothes, and when you put them in the dryer, throw in two tennis balls to help keep them fluffy.

Answer 4

Your pillows should have a tag on them that will say exactly how to launder them.

If you've removed that, try washing them two at a time.  Put them on opposite sides of the washer.  Wash with cold water, on the gentle cycle.  Keep watch-they can shift and cause the washer to stop.  Just re-balance them, and continue with the cycle.

Dry in your dryer on medium or a little cooler heat. They take a long time to dry, however.

You don't say what kind they are, and some pillows don't wash well.  

I fluff mine on low heat in the dryer a couple of times a month.  If your pillows are old, just replace them.  It's not that expensive to do.
