I once tried to wash a pillow in the washing machine.
A friend said yes we can do it and so did the silly tag on the pillow.
I put one pillow into the washer with the hope that it will come out of the dryer all clean and flufffffyyyy…
I was so wrong.
half way through the wash cycle the washer started to make weird loud noises.Apparently the pillow had soaked in water ,become too heavy and tipped the balance of the washer or sth like that…
I thought I will take it out and put in the common laundry in the basement which had a larger commercial type washer/dryer unit.Pulling it out if the washer was like getting and elephant out of there.
Once I dragged the 10 ton pillow to the basement it had to go through numerous dryer cycles to dry out…it never happened…
RESULT…pillow went to the garbage dumpster…!!!
Never again I thought of washing pillows…!!
Although I wonder why they say on the tags that they can be machine washed
…
