Pillow Cleaning

Hospitality and lodging customers are realizing substantial benefits by renovating pillows with the Pillow-Vac© machine designed and manufactured by Harris Pillow Supply.

Over time, pillows tend to become flat and lose their bounce, regardless of the filling. Feathers disintegrate, leaving dust. Most people who have allergies tend to think it is the feathers in the pillow that irritates them, but actually it is this dust.

The Pillow-Vac is designed specifically for pillow renovating. It uses an ozone-emitting germicidal light to kill bacteria, sanitize and deodorize the filling. The old pillow is cut open and emptied into a tumble chamber which has rotating brushes that expose everything to germicidal lights while breaking up clumps that have formed. It fluffs up the down clusters and sifts out the dust that has been trapped in the pillow. If it's a feather and/or down pillow more new filling is added to bring it back to the density of a new pillow. At the end of the cycle all the filling is blown back into a new, 100% cotton feather- and down-proof ticking. The entire process takes an average of three-to-four minutes per pillow.

Testimonial:

Linda Williamson, THE BROADMOOR’s buyer, said pillow replacement due to pillow failure is almost non-existent using the Pillow-Vac. “With 700 guest rooms and suites I had to purchase only 400 new pillows in 2006 and less than 100 in 2007. That is incredible. The Pillow-Vac restoration process, which only takes a few minutes per pillow, basically makes a new pillow with the new ticking and renovated filling at a much lower cost than buying new pillows.”
