You know if the pillows or cushions are just going into the trash anyway I figured what the heck, give it a try.palerider wrote: I have to admit to wondering what kind of crazyness that was... *lol*
reading through the thread, I think I'll try it hehe
Of course never, ever do this with your one and only of anything. Always have a spare on hand in case disaster happens.
First time I tried it with tap water the pillows came out looking worse than when they went in the bath. I thought "gee, that didn't help things at all" and set aside those now really ugly nasal pillows (I don't toss anything until I am convinced it will never work) and then one day when I was reading that someone else had done the boiling baking soda trick but they had used distilled water a little light bulb went off in my head..hmmm...so tried it again with distilled water for both the boiling and final rinse and I was totally blown away with how clear they were. Looked like brand new and felt that way too.
I normally have way more "spares" than I need. Must be the hoarder in me
But if someone was going to trash can the cushions or nasal pillows....hey, wouldn't cost anything but a little time and distilled water, which I always have plenty of anyway, and try it just to see if it helped things out a little.
