To help reduce mold in our pillows, you’ll want to do a few things:
1. First, you’ll want to shower often. This will help remove mold spores from your hands, hair, and face, which you cannot then transport to a different part of the house only to bring it back into your bedroom.
2. Second, you’ll want to wash you pillow cases often.
3. Third, you’ll want to wash your pillows often, and preferably with a bleach on the hottest water setting.
4. Lastly, you’ll want to replace your pillows periodically, and bag them before you walk them out of the room to prevent dislodging and spreading spores in areas between the room and the trash.

Molds are everywhere and are often unavoidable, however if we know where sources of mold exist within our home environments, and we know how to remove those sources from the environment, it is a significant start to reducing the potential volume of mold and spores we are exposed to overall for a safer and cleaner environment.
