Pillows and cushions are usually, in addition to our first allies when it comes to falling asleep, an important element of many home decorations. They look very nice in different shades and patterns on a sofa, giving a touch of comfort and warmth.
But, just as it happens with other surfaces, pillows can favor the accumulation of mites, very small insects that can cause allergies, rashes or itching. In addition, being so exposed, they tend to get dirty easily, which also favors the proliferation of mites.
To keep your pillows clean and disinfected, you can use a simple trick that will allow you to avoid the use of chemical products and the washing machine, to save water and take care of the environment.
The product that you will learn to make yourself will act as a disinfectant to clean the pillows and keep them free of mites and bacteria, especially when you do not have enough time to wash them.
