I'm in need of some advice, could you please tell me where I can dispose of my old pillows? I've been looking around and I'm not sure where the best place to take them is. Is there a specific recycling center or thrift store that would accept them? Or perhaps a charity that could put them to good use? I'm looking for the most environmentally friendly and responsible way to get rid of them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Could you please clarify whether Lysol, a popular disinfectant brand, is effective in disinfecting pillows? I understand that Lysol is often used to sanitize various surfaces and kill germs, but I'm curious if it's suitable for use on pillows, considering they're often made of materials like cotton, memory foam, or down, which may react differently to chemicals. Would spraying Lysol directly onto a pillow be safe, or could it cause discoloration, damage, or other unintended consequences? Is there a recommended method for disinfecting pillows if Lysol isn't the best option?

Is it really SAFE to wash pillows in the washing machine? I've heard conflicting opinions on the matter. On one hand, some people swear by the convenience and effectiveness of machine-washing their pillows. On the other hand, others warn that it could damage the pillows' structure or even lead to mold growth. So, what's the truth? Is it safe to toss my pillows into the washing machine, or should I stick to hand-washing or professional cleaning? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
