If you have a front loader, Jillee notes that you might not have to take the pillows out to flip them around halfway through. The only reason she did this was to make sure the mixture covered the whole pillow, but front loading washers will be rotating the pillows on their own.

When it comes to drying your pillows, the method will depend on the pillows you have. Down or feather pillows should be dried on an air cycle, while synthetic pillows should just be dried on a low-temperature setting. To keep your pillows nice and fluffy, Jillee suggests using dryer balls. If you don’t have dryer balls, try wrapping some tennis balls in clean socks and tossing them in with your load!
