You have the love the Internet for always having an answer to everything, right? YouTube is home to some excellent hacks and tips that can save you plenty of time and money while doing annoying chores around the house, and this is definitely one of them.
The clip tackles one of the most common problems any homeowner has encounter at least a couple of times. I’m talking about yellow pillows that are so gross-looking that you would rather sleep on a rock than put your head on one.
Well, as gross as these pillows may be, there is actually a pretty simple solution to it. The secret to removing that yellowish tint is to use a homemade whitening mix that you can make yourself using a few common ingredients.
To get started, take a large pot of water and bring it to a boil on the stove. To that, add 1 cup of laundry detergent, 1 cup powdered dishwasher detergent and half a cup of Borax. Once all these have dissolved into the boiling water, all that remains to be done is add the bleach.
From then on, it’s just a matter of waiting. Soak your pillows in this mixture, but be careful to remove the covers first. All it takes is fifteen minutes, and then your pillows are ready to be thrown in the washing machine. And that is basically it; your pillows will come out nice and white – and smelling fresh.
Hope you’ll give this a try, because it really does work!
