Why do white pillows inevitably turn yellow? How can I make the pillow more comfortable?
First, why does the pillow inevitably turn yellow?

1, the human body will secrete a lot of oil, absorb sweat, sebum, dandruff and other dirty metabolic wastes from the head, and all pillows will turn yellow in a period of time. The yellow color of the pillow has a great relationship with the metabolic function of the human body. Things secreted by the body are easily absorbed by the pillow, but it can also cause the pillow to yellow. Pillows are a necessity in life, and everyone will sleep. Pillows will turn yellow if they are not washed for a while, which has a lot to do with the secretions secreted by the body at ordinary times.

2. If the pillow is not completely dry, using or storing it at the bottom of the box will also cause the pillow to turn yellow. It is difficult to dry clothes in wet weather. If the pillowcase is not dry, it will turn yellow easily. Putting an undried pillowcase in a box will also turn yellow. The pillow touches people's head and hair, and there is oil on the hair, so as long as the pillow is used, the pillow will turn yellow, that is, the oily paper and Chinese characters on the hair are not easy to wash off. Although you often wash it, the pillowcase will still turn yellow, so many people will not choose pure white when choosing a pillowcase.

Second, can you make the pillow more comfortable?

1. Wash with warm water, apply concentrated detergent evenly on the yellow part of the pillow, and then gently soak the pillow core in the prepared warm water for nearly 15 minutes. After soaking, we can choose two ways: machine washing or hand washing. Hand washing is to follow the previous washing steps, add a proper amount of detergent, and gently scrub with your hands, so that the pillow will be as bright as new after drying.

2. We can also use ordinary white vinegar to solve the problem of pillow yellowing. White vinegar has a strong cleaning power. We can mix water and white vinegar into a solution according to a certain proportion, and then soak the yellow pillowcase or pillow. After standing for a few minutes, scrub with detergent to make the pillow white. It seems wasteful to use toothpaste and baking soda, because the yellow area is too large, and the amount of toothpaste is large. The specific steps are to squeeze toothpaste on the brush, then sprinkle a little baking soda, and finally wipe the yellow part of the pillow with some water to solve the problem of repeated yellowing.
