How to get the yellow out of your pillowcases, for good

Every night your skin leaves a little oil on the fabric where your head rests.

Skincare, hair products, a bit of drool, damp hair, it all soaks into the same spot.

Left in the fabric, it reacts with the air and slowly changes colour, like a cut apple going brown.

That yellow isn't sitting on the surface.

It's colour formed deep in the fibre, which is why a normal wash never reaches it.

Step 1: Soak it hot.

Fill a sink, basin or bath with water as hot as the care label allows.

Step 2: Add oxygen bleach and detergent.

The oxygen bleach lifts the colour, the detergent breaks down the oil.

Oxygen bleach breaks down into nothing but water, oxygen and soda ash.

Step 3: Leave it for hours, or overnight.

This is the step everyone skips.

Set-in colour won't budge in a quick cycle, it needs time in the water.

Step 4: Wash as normal, then rinse well.

Extra rinse if you're in a hard-water area.

Step 5: Repeat if needed.

Months of buildup can take a couple of goes.

That's normal.

Never mix oxygen bleach with chlorine bleach.

They cancel each other out.

Your pillowcase is the one surface your face is pressed into for eight hours a night, breathing through it, skin against it.

And most detergents are made with unnecessary stuff that doesn't rinse away, some of it linked to skin irritation and allergies.

These chemicals cling to the fabric, and although one wash is a tiny amount, you don't wash once.

You wash the same bedding week after week, year after year, and it builds up on the sheets you've got your face in every night.

Once you know it's there, it's hard to unknow.

We wanted to make a detergent with gentler ingredients that still actually cleans.

So we did.

Nothing to hide.

Plant-based, lower-impact, and every single ingredient published for you to read.

No vague "fragrance," no list you'd need a chemistry degree to decode.

If it's in there, you can see it.

Over 80% active ingredients.

Most of what's in a big bottle of liquid detergent is water.

Dip leaves that out, so what you're actually washing with is over 80% cleaning ingredients.

A sheet the size of your hand, doing everything that heavy bottle does.

Gentle on skin, not on the wash.

Dermatologically tested, and it still shifts everyday stains and grime.

The gentleness is in what's left out, not in how well it cleans.
