To air out a bamboo pillow, simply hang it near an open window or in a well-ventilated area.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Because bamboo is naturally breathable, unpleasant smells or any slight initial odor from manufacturing will dissipate when the pillow is aired out. Hanging the pillow allows for maximum airflow and faster results.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Remove the pillowcase: This allows for better air circulation around the entire pillow.
- Choose a location: Select a spot near an open window or in a well-ventilated room. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can potentially damage the memory foam inside. Shaded outdoor areas are also suitable.
- Hang or Lay Flat: You can either hang the pillow (if possible) or lay it flat on a clean, dry surface.
- Allow Sufficient Time: Let the pillow air out for several hours, or even a full day, depending on the strength of any odors.
- Regularly Fluff: During the airing process, fluff the pillow periodically to help release any trapped odors and ensure even ventilation.
Keep in mind that if you're new to using a bamboo pillow, especially one made of shredded memory foam, it might take a few nights to get used to the feel. Continue using it even if it feels different initially.
