Sun Cleanse

Sanitize and freshen your pillows with a sun cleanse!
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 6 hours
Total: 6 hours 15 minutes

Instructions 

  • Choose a Sunny Spot: Select an outdoor area with direct sunlight exposure for your sun cleanse. A backyard, balcony, or any outdoor space with ample sunlight will work perfectly.
  • Remove Pillowcases: Take off the pillowcases from your pillows and set them aside. Make sure you're only exposing the pillows themselves to the sunlight.
  • Shake and Fluff: Give your pillows a good shake to remove any dust or debris. Fluff them up to ensure even exposure to the sunlight.
  • Lay Them Out: Lay your pillows flat on a clean surface in the sunny spot you've chosen. Ensure that they're spread out evenly and not overlapping.
  • Rotate Periodically: Throughout the day, periodically rotate your pillows to ensure that all sides receive equal exposure to the sunlight. This will help to maximize the sanitizing effect.
  • Leave Them Out: Let your pillows bask in the sunlight for several hours. The duration will depend on factors such as the intensity of the sunlight and the thickness of your pillows. Aim for at least 4-6 hours of exposure for optimal results.
  • Monitor Weather Conditions: Keep an eye on the weather forecast to ensure that your pillows won't be exposed to rain or excessive moisture. If there's a chance of rain, it's best to bring them indoors or cover them with a clean sheet.
  • Bring Them Inside: Once your pillows have been adequately sun-kissed, bring them back indoors. Give them another shake to remove any lingering dust or debris.
  • Reassemble: Place the freshly sun-cleansed pillows back into their pillowcases. Ensure that the pillowcases are clean and free from any debris before putting them on.
  • Enjoy Fresh, Clean Pillows: Your pillows are now refreshed and sanitized, thanks to the power of sunlight! Enjoy the feeling of clean, fresh pillows as you lay your head down for a restful night's sleep.
