I need to get a vomit stain off of a pillow. Unfortunately, it didn't have
the cover on it. (I know, duh, that's what they're for).

Can I throw it in the wash? Or will that rip it to shreds? What's the best
way to clean it, remove the stain?

Thanks in advance,
Larry

Hi Larry,

It depends on the stuffing. Some feather pillows aren't washable and some
are, read the label and it should say. If it's polyester then use low heat
and low agitation - movement.

Hope this helps

A new pillow can cost less than 10 bucks...

If it fails to come clean, I'd just replace it and pray the puker has better
aim next time.

Was this a child, or a great party?

Don't forget to put some towels or whatever in to balance it - maybe another
pillow. Otherwise, your washer will likely be quite out of balance when it
spins.
