Foam Pillow Laundering
Foam pillows may also be washed in the washer.
Unless covered, put pillow in mesh bag or pillowcase with
open end basted shut to prevent foam from shredding or
tearing during machine action. Do not dry them in a dryer
with heat because of danger of combustion. They can be
tumbled at air setting only, or dried outdoors, or with a
fan blowing on them, but first squeeze between two bath
towels to get out as much water as possible. They take a
long time to dry.
