....and tumble dried them. Never done it before (minging). They came up beautifully and smell great!!

That is all. Grin

It's great, isn't it? I find they're never quite as even again though.

My dad said just buy new, but I am extremely attached to my pillow....

how did you stop them going all lumpy? I tried this once and totally ruined them

we have hollow fibre pillows. they don't go lumpy. and dry quickly.

I want to do this, but the label says hand wash only - surely they'll go in the machine? Although the last lot turned out lumpy

Mine turn out lumpy, the fibre ones. I had my feather ones all re-done (covered etc) - it was so expensive wish I had bought new.

Pop a couple of tennis balls. Or dryer balls in the dryer and it bumps the pillows back into shape.

I don't have a tumble dryer, is that where I'm going wrong?

mousmous · 06/04/2014 15:52

I don't hava a dryer either.
I just shake them a few times whilst drying on the heated airer (I guess near a radiator would work just as well.)

Thought you were going to say they had gone all lumpy!
