Dimensions and specifications of pillowcases Cleaning and maintenance of pillowcases

As the external decoration of the pillow, the pillowcase plays a more important role in protecting the pillow from being damaged and dirty and prolonging the service life of the pillow. So what are the sizes of pillowcases?

Specifications and dimensions of pillowcases

Generally, pillowcases are rectangular, that is, rectangular This shape of pillowcase has two different sizes, one is the cell size and the other is the external size. The external dimension refers to the dimension from the outermost edge of the whole pillowcase to the opposite outermost edge. Because the outer size of the pillow is equal to the cell size of the pillowcase, the cell size and outer size of the pillowcase mentioned here include the description of the size of the pillow core.

The standard size of pillowcase is: the cell cavity is 40 cm *65 cm, and the outside is 50*75 cm. This size pillowcase has a certain origin. It is said that this aspect ratio is the golden ratio, which looks the most beautiful. In addition, the size of the pillowcase is also related to the size of the quilt. The standard size of the quilt is 150 cm *200 cm, and the standard double bed is 150 cm *200 cm.

A standard quilt is just a mattress for a standard bed of the right size.

Then, put two pillows on the bed, and the tangent on the right side of the left pillow is connected with the left side of the right pillow, so that the size from the left side of the left pillow to the right side of the right pillow is just equal to the bed width. The lace around the pillowcase is generally 5 cm in size, which is suitable for grasping. What should I do if the pillowcase turns yellow?

Method one

Before cleaning the yellow pillowcase,

It's best to bask in the hot sun for an hour or two first, so as to wash off the yellow marks more effectively. Soak the pillowcase immediately after exposure, thoroughly soak the stains on the pillowcase, preferably with warm water or hot water, and soak it in detergent such as washing powder for more than an hour. After soaking thoroughly, whether it is hand washing or machine washing, wash it with washing powder first to remove basic sweat spots. Many washing powders have no effect on long-term residual sweat spots, but the effect of detergent will be better. So after washing the washing powder, you can wash it again with detergent to remove these stains.

Method 2

If the pillowcase material is heat-resistant, boiling can be used instead of two-step method. Boil the detergent and pillowcase in boiling water for a while, then take them out and rub them or brush them with a brush to see the cleaning effect. If it still doesn't work, put it in and continue cooking.

Repeat this action until you are satisfied. Some pillowcases that are not often replaced, or those that are sloppy, may not be able to completely remove macula with the above methods. Then you can rub it repeatedly with white oil, and the effect of removing yellow is very good. You can also omit the above steps and directly clean with white oil after exposure.

How often do you wash your pillowcases?

The cleanliness of pillowcases is very important, just like many details in life deserve our attention. If we don't pay attention in time, it may do some harm to our health. Take the frequency of pillowcase replacement and cleaning as an example. Many people are not aware of this problem. "As long as the pillowcase is not worn out, you can always use it." Still stuck in traditional thinking, especially for many elderly people. As we all know, if a pillowcase is used for too long, it is easy to breed a variety of bacteria and other germs on the pillowcase, which is quite harmful to the human body. Especially for friends who are prone to acne, it is very important. If you don't change the pillowcase frequently, the pillowcase will easily get dirty things such as mites, dust and dandruff because it is in direct contact with the face, and it is easier for the skin on the face to grow annoying "acne".

Therefore, pillowcases and pillows should be washed frequently.

It is best to wash it once a week, at least once every two weeks. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of bacteria are hidden in our hair, and these bacteria will also "migrate" to pillow towels and pillowcases. Even more frightening is that dandruff is a "good meal" for dust mites. This also explains why there are the most dust mites on the bed. Harmful substances such as mite feces, corpses and molds on pillow towels and pillowcases may cause allergies, asthma and other diseases once they are inhaled into the nasal cavity. The room temperature in the north is higher in winter. Humidifier not only brings moisture, but also provides fertile soil for dust mites, so it is more important to clean bedding in winter. Thankfully, we found in the survey that some netizens have developed the good habit of washing bedding frequently: 5.97% people wash it once a week, 24.86% people wash it once every half month and 36.78% people wash it once a month.
