Cleaning a Rice Filled Pillow

RE: Cleaning a Rice Filled Pillow By rabbit10mom (1) Profile Contact Sunshine is the best smell eliminator there is! Put your Rice Pillow out in bright sunlight and the smells will be gone. No need to buy another one. I've used this treatment for many thrift store buys that had lingering cigarette/cigar smoke on them and it always works.

Spray on fresheners (so-called) mask odor ONLY through a two part process by reducing the volatility of odor molecules so they cannot be smelled. Spraying fabric softener, etc, will not accomplish the same thing but WILL cause a build up of gunk in your house, and make fabric harder to clean properly. Ditto for oils, etc. Febreze is not a cleaner, even the makers don't make this claim.

Spread the rice out on a cookie sheet and place it outside in the hot sun. Stir it around once in a while. After a couple days it might not smell. Wash the cloth case. Put the rice back in the case and sew shut. Hopefully this might work.

Just take a mens tube sock, fill it with about a pound of long cooking rice, fold it so the rice it pushed to one end and sew the fold shut. It's easy and inexpensive. Good luck!

Contact You can make your own by using a large or small sock and filling it with rice and tying a knot in it. I either microwave it for around one minute or freeze it for boo boos. Every so often I pour the rice out and wash the sock, then pour the rice back in. Hope this helps!

Let sit for a while and shake off the excess to see if smell remains. (Maybe run the vacuum hose over it, too) This "dry bath" works wonders for lots of items that can't be soaked or washed in water, such as stuffed animals. Non-toxic, too!

Contact I'd rip a tiny bit of the stitching out, empty the old rice out, wash the cover, refill with new rice and stitch closed. Posted on 04/06/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
