Pillows sit right under your face every night and soak up skin flakes, hair oil and sweat. Over time that build-up works through the cover and into the filling. Pillow dust mite treatment is often added to a mattress booking in Brisbane, though you can also book it on its own. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book an independent local crew.
The crew sorts the pillows by filling before they start. Polyester, feather and down, latex and memory foam each need a slightly different approach. Polyester and feather pillows can take more steam, while memory foam and latex get lighter moisture and a longer drying time. Any pillow with torn seams or clumped filling is pointed out to you before work starts, so you can decide whether it is worth treating.
- Pillow covers and protectors removed and set aside for your wash
- Vacuum pass on both sides and along the seams
- High-heat steam worked through the fabric
- Extraction pass to lift loosened debris and moisture
- Pillows stood up or laid on a rack to air dry
A treated pillow gets a fresh start, but it will build up again with nightly use. Washing pillow protectors every week in hot water, where the label allows, helps a lot between visits. Some people choose to replace very old pillows rather than treat them, and the crew will be honest if a pillow looks past its useful life.
Pillows usually dry within a few hours on a warm day, faster in the sun on a verandah. To book pillow treatment on its own or with your mattresses, call 07 3543 2097 and we will line up a local team in Brisbane.
