A TikTok video showing a woman cleaning her boyfriend\u2019s pillows for the first time in a decade has shocked social media users.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

The woman revealed that her boyfriend refused to replace his pillows, which were heavily stained and had not been washed in ten years.<\/p>\n

In the viral clip, she documented the process of restoring the yellowed pillows to their original white color using a combination of common household cleaning products.<\/p>\n

The cleaning process began with soaking three discolored pillows in a bathtub filled with a mixture of dishwasher tablets, Borax powder, and bleach.<\/p>\n

Using a mop, she worked the dirt out of the pillows before transferring them to a washing machine for a thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n

The results were dramatic \u2013 the pillows emerged looking bright white, a stark contrast to their previous dingy yellow-brown state.<\/p>\n

The video quickly went viral, garnering over a million views on TikTok and eliciting a mix of astonishment and disgust from viewers.<\/p>\n

Many commenters expressed disbelief over the condition of the pillows, with one user saying: \u201cWith that alone, I would replace the boyfriend.\u00a0Hygiene\u00a0is everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another noted the accumulation of: \u201c10 years of sweat, dead skin, dirt, oil, and bacteria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some highlighted the fact that pillows are recommended to be replaced every one to two years, with washing ideally done four times a year.<\/p>\n

Experts emphasize the importance of regular pillow maintenance.<\/p>\n

A representative from Christy England, a supplier to prestigious institutions like Wimbledon and the\u00a0royal family, advised Mail Online that pillows should be cleaned every three months due to the buildup of sweat and dead skin.<\/p>\n

Neglecting this can lead to unhygienic conditions, as bacteria and grime accumulate over time.<\/p>\n

The TikToker\u2019s cleaning method closely resembles a process known as \u2018laundry stripping,\u2019 which has gained\u00a0popularity\u00a0on social media.<\/p>\n

Laundry stripping involves soaking fabrics in a tub of hot water mixed with baking soda, Borax, and detergent.<\/p>\n

This technique helps to remove deep-seated grime and residue that regular washing machines often leave behind.<\/p>\n

Nurse Lauren Elms previously demonstrated this method on TikTok, stripping workout clothes and towels.<\/p>\n

Her videos, including one where the water turned a shocking dark brown after soaking, garnered millions of views and sparked a viral trend.<\/p>\n

Stripping laundry effectively removes trapped dirt and bacteria, particularly from materials like terry cloth, which are prone to holding onto residues.<\/p>\n

According to The Spruce, this process is particularly useful for older towels and gym clothes that may smell clean after washing but develop odors when damp.<\/p>\n

The process works because, during a typical wash, fabrics may reabsorb some of the dirty water circulating in the machine.<\/p>\n

Social media reactions to both the pillow-cleaning video and laundry-stripping trend have ranged from astonishment to horror.<\/p>\n

Viewers noted how the processes reveal just how much-unseen buildup can accumulate in everyday items.<\/p>\n

In the end, the TikToker joked that she could sleep better knowing those nasty pillows are clean,\u2019 but many commenters suggested a more permanent solution: replacing both the pillows and perhaps even the boyfriend.<\/p>\n
