Ok so there are instructions on the actual pillow, but are there any tips or tricks that you gals use to wash it? Ugh, I could have waited a week to wash it, but today DS decided to drag it all on our kitchen floor, before I got a chance to sweep it.

What can I do next?

We have 4 of them and I just washed them all together a few days ago. I washed in Hot water in a regular cycle and Air Fluffed them in the dryer. They came out great!

When washing pillows you MUST wash 2 pillows and NOTHING else, not even a wash cloth. The pillows should be similar in size and shape. If they are different they will not spin. They will continuously unbalance the machine. It is very easy to wash pillows. Just make sure they are the only things in the machine and they will balance each other out. But a washcloth can unbalance the load and will not allow it to reach high spin speeds. When drying you'll need to make sure they are all the way dry inside, I use my shoe rock int he dryer to make sure they get dry but don't wad up.

Put it in a lingerie net bag, then just throw it in the wash and dryer. Gentle cycle.

I wash my daughter's just regular- with a load of her clothes. And then I dry them with everything else as well. Came out super fluffy, but returned to normal! I did read the instructions (after I already washed them, lol) but I didn't need to do anything special.
