Are Yellow Stains On Your Pillow a Warning Sign?
homedit.com - December 09, 2024
This service piece explains the common causes of yellow pillow stains—sweat, drool, body oils, cosmetics, wet hair, and bedroom humidity—and why they build up over time. It covers health considerations (allergies, dust mites, mold, bacterial growth) and gives step-by-step cleaning options (hydrogen peroxide solution, vinegar, baking-soda paste, commercial removers) plus prevention tips like using a zip-up protector and drying hair before bed. It also notes typical refresh cycles (wash every 2–3 weeks; replace every 2–3 years) and cites the oft-shared stat that after two years, up to 10% of a pillow’s weight can be dust mites and their droppings. A relatable “eww-but-useful” topic that proved especially popular with readers (reportedly “viral”).
