How to Fluff Goose Down Pillows After Washing

Goose down pillows are cozy and relaxing to sink into at the end of a long day, but without regular washing they lose much of their charm. Eventually, they will become lumpy and uncomfortable and can even aggravate allergies if not laundered regularly. The pillows will not regain their shape after washing without some encouragement. Renew their original shape and fluffiness while the pillows are still in the dryer.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place no more than two goose down pillows inside a commercial dryer, as smaller dryers are not large enough to dry the pillows thoroughly.

    • 2

      Put two tennis balls inside a clean white sock and toss it into the dryer with the pillows.

    • 3

      Set the dryer to medium heat and turn it on.

    • 4

      Stop the dryer and fluff the pillows every 20 to 30 minutes. Rub your hands over the pillows to locate lumps and break them apart to speed drying time. It may take up to three hours for the pillows to dry completely.

    • 5

      Remove the pillows from the dryer when they feel dry and the feathers no longer clump together.
