One person said: 10 years old??? FFS just put some new ones!! most girls I know would not allow a dirty c$&t like that anywhere near them

A second wrote: You can get pillows for $6 at Walmart, so if someone has used the same pillow for 10 years and you're dating that person, then you should be spending time being embarrassed for yourself instead of washing it.

A third commented: She's lucky mixing all those chemicals didn't cause toxic fumes. I would never mix bleach with other chemicals.

Someone suggested: For crying out loud, it's been 10 YEARS buy some new pillows and some pillow protectors while you're at it. No one wants to sleep in a face full of bleach.

Another gives advice: Bleach gets things white, imagine that, I would have run down to my nearest Walmart & picked up new pillows for as little as $10.00 each.

Your boyfriend is a pig. That's a bigger problem than how to wash pillows that should have been thrown out years ago. Another added. 

According to Daily Mai, an expert from Christy England, a supplier of Wimbledon and the royal family, has advised that:  'pillows should be washed every three months because, similar to bedding, they contain a build-up of sweat and dead skin.'

Some fabrics might be retaining a horrifying buildup of dirt, and people often make the mistake of assuming that a regular run through the washing machine is sufficient to thoroughly clean their clothes and linens. However, it may not be as clean as they think

One method to achieve a truly deep clean, effectively removing the grime that washing machines might miss, is a technique that entails soaking the laundry in a bathtub filled with hot water, baking soda, Borax, and detergent. This is a similar tip to what the TikToker used for her boyfriend's pillows
