# How to Remove Body Odors From a Memory Foam Pillow
Memory foam pillows are full of small polyurethane bubbles that will hold water if you machine-wash it. You cannot dry-clean memory foam pillows, either. To remove body odor smells, it is necessary to spot-clean the pillow with water and a mild laundry detergent. Air-dry the pillow completely before using it again.
Things You'll Need
