Can You Use Shout on Pillows?

Yes, you can use Shout on pillows, specifically to pre-treat stains before washing them.

Treating Stains on Pillows with Shout

According to cleaning guidelines, tackling stains on pillows before washing is a key step to ensure they come out clean. Products like Shout are recommended for this purpose.

The process involves applying a stain remover directly to the affected area. The reference states: "Before you wash any pillow, look for any stains. Pre-treat them with a concentrated solution or spray, such as Shout or OxiClean, and let sit for 10 minutes before washing."

This indicates that Shout can be safely used on pillow fabric to help lift stubborn marks and discoloration before the pillow goes into the washing machine.

How to Pre-Treat Pillow Stains with Shout

Here are the general steps based on the guidance:

• Identify Stains: Locate any visible spots or stains on your pillowcase and the pillow itself.
• Apply Shout: Spray or apply a concentrated solution of Shout directly onto the stain. Ensure the stain is well-covered.
• Let it Sit: Allow the Shout to penetrate the stain for approximately 10 minutes. This gives the product time to work on breaking down the stain molecules.
• Wash as Usual: After the sitting time, wash the pillow according to its care label instructions. Using the washing machine is the typical next step.
