Washing a product with such a filler in a washing machine is highly discouraged for the simple reason that all internal material is crumpled, and it will be impossible to straighten it after such processing. But hand washing with full soaking will not bring any benefit.

1. Contaminated areas should be rubbed with household soap and only the top layer should be washed.
2. Persistent stains are removed with a stain remover - you can use folk remedies such as ammonia, vinegar, starch, talcum powder or household chemicals.
3. At the same time, it is advisable to dry a cotton product in the sun - this will sanitize bed textiles and prevent cotton from slipping.
