I’m a cleaning pro

A CLEANING professional has revealed her method for reviving sweat-stained pillows using just five items.

It also included a cost-effective way to kill dust mites.

It's not a job many think of doing, but Carolina Mccauley (@carolina.mccauley) certainly does.

Over 2.8million followers and a whopping 21.6million likes regularly tune in for her home tips and tricks.

This was the latest.

"How to wash pillows," she said at the top of her video, as two rather grubby-looking pillows waited for their deep clean.

"My secrets to getting those pillows squeaky clean," she added before taking a deep dive into her method.

Always check the labels first and adjust your machine settings accordingly, she said.

Next, she placed the pillows in the washing machine.

But she added some caution: "Take care not to overcrowd the machine."

To the drum, she added half a cup of baking soda.

In the detergent drawer, she used a gentle detergent.

Then a quarter of a cup of hydrogen peroxide was poured in with the detergent.

Following this came half a cup of vinegar, which was used instead of softener.

Cleaning professional Carolina Mccauley has revealed her five-step method for cleaning sweat-stained pillows. It is cost-effective and kills dust mites.

Eucalyptus oil was also placed in the softener section to kill dust mites, she said.

Finally, she added dryer balls to the machine "to keep the shape."

Commenters welcomed the tip.

"Just did this. Thank you. Just wow," said one.

One commenter worried that she didn't have one element of Carolina's method: dryer balls.

In one more remark, a commenter offered their alternative: "You can use tennis balls," they suggested.
