Tips for Cleaning Yellow Pillow Cores with Tiny Mold Spots

• Mold thrives in moisture. Always dry pillows completely in the sun if possible.

• Fluff and rotate them during drying to ensure no damp spots remain.

• If the sun isn’t available, use a dryer with high heat and add clean tennis balls or dryer balls to keep the pillow fluffy.

4. Prevention Tips

• Use pillow protectors under pillowcases to block sweat and moisture.

• Wash pillowcases weekly and pillow cores every 3–4 months.

• Air out pillows in the sun regularly to prevent future mold growth.

👉 If the mold has spread deeply inside or the odor persists even after cleaning, it’s safer to replace the pillow, as mold can affect health.
