Mrs Hinch fans’ clever hack for removing yellow pillow stains to make them ‘good as new’

The cleaning fanatics over at Mrs Hinch cleaning tips Facebook group have been on hand once again to help you keep your pillows fresh and free from nasty sweat and odours

As we spend so much of our lives sleeping, it’s vital that we keep our beds fresh and clean to avoid any skin irritation, poor hygiene or dodgy odours. While keeping our sheets sparkling is a relatively easy task, tackling stained pillows is another struggle altogether. Much like cleaning a mattress, it’s a chore that most of us dread, but yellow pillow staining is often caused by a build-up of sweat and needs to be dealt with when spotted.

Thankfully, Mrs Hinch fans have come in clutch with more clever tips on how to banish those unsightly yellow patches on pillows. Taking to Facebook to reveal their wisdom, fans of the cleaning sensation – real name Sophie Hinchliffe – have raved about how to effortless it is to complete.

One of the members of the Mrs Hinch fans Facebook group recently posted: “Morning all. I need help to remove yellowing from pillows and pillow protectors, what are your best tips please?”

In the comments, many were very quick to share their hero ingredient for tackling the nasty yellow stains: Napisan.

One person commented: “Soak in Napisan overnight or at least for a few hours and then wash in the machine. Add more Napisan and usual detergent.”

While another stated: “The yellowing is sweat and I found regularly washing and adding Napisan or soaking in it helps.”

A third penned: “Napisan is the way forward, totally effortless way to get brand new pillows again.”

Napisan is an in-wash stain remover which can blast the toughest stains, even at the lower temperatures.

And the best bit is that you can pick up this product for just a few quid from most supermarket stores so you won’t need to search too much for it.

Other people in the comments suggested baking soda as one wrote: “Mix vinegar and baking soda to create a paste and put it on the pillow.”

And another stated: “Baking soda on the pillow and put it in the sun for a few hours. Vacuum the powder up and it’ll be good as new.”
