My Dad was a career 30 yr Xerox middle manager/biz manager. Got laid off early 90s. By mid 90s they came crawling back, even fully restored the pension plus some.

If they are turning yellow then yes I do. That’s fucking gross.

I’m going to say it’s the manufacturers of pillows putting some slow chemical reaction product on their pillows to make them turn yellow so you have to go buy more. I buy new pillows, put a white cotton zippered pillow sleeve on the pillow and a pillow case on top. I wash both sleeve and case on a regular basis and

I’m curious, what color are your sweat stains? Lilac?

Literally anyone. And yes I throw out clothes that are yellowing from sweat. 

If my clothes are yellowed they get thrown out just like the pillow. Gross.

Right? I don’t get why people are arguing against this. Like asking me if I would throw away yellowing clothes? Uh yea, I would because im not gross.

Plus, they can throw your washing machine seriously off balance. I just use a protector under the outer case to prolong them, then toss them when they start to get nasty.  By the time they get all yellow, they’re all flat anyway.

Some idiot is going to use dish soap and have a bubble party in their laundry room. 

I’m all for getting the most out of items. I try to buy the peanut butter that come in glass jars just for the free mason jar afterwards. But there comes a point where you have to cut bait and start new with pillows no matter how many times you’ve washed them.

Nope

Because pillows break down over time*, and the crappy yellow stains are a good wear indicator, telling you to run out and get a new pillow that doesn’t have your skull imprint in it.

I like how we cram chickens on top of each other by the thousands like some sort of avian ball pit, then I’m the bad guy for a bird feeder.

Probably because they’re not ‘perfectly good’. Pillows are supposed to be replaced on average every two years (depending on the material). Even if you clean thoroughly, biological matter, mould and fungus still build up inside, and the material itself degrades and poses a health risk through inhalation and surface

All those dust mites are my friends, I will not abandon them!

Did you even TRY to consult Mike Lindell for this?

I just buy them yellow so I don't have to worry about them looking dirty. Duh.

Don’t clean yellow pillows, replace them. They’re pillows. Don’t be gross.

No. 1000% No. This is bad information.
