Pillows should be cleaned regularly to prevent discoloration. The primary cause of yellowing is sweat secretion during sleep, which creates a damp environment conducive to mites and bacteria growth. While some may throw away their pillows at the first sign of yellow stains, and others believe washing pillowcases suffices, it’s actually recommended to wash your pillows at least every six months. Duvets can be washed annually.

Washing Your Pillows
