Has anyone attempted to clean one of these Technogel pillows? Thanks!

Sorry, no. We don't use it much. Ours doesn't stay cool as long as reported. If you have to clean yours it's obviously working for you.

Van, I haven't washed my fabulous pillow yet. I use a pillow cover to protect my pillows a little longer. I know the MyPillow website has a "How do I wash MyPillow" in their FAQ. There's top and front load machine instructions, plus dry instructions as well. I hope this helps.

I have had a couple of these pillows. They arrive with a chemical smell from the packaging that irritated. I just washed (submerged) them in a pail with dishwashing liquid soap solution. Then I rinsed them, drained them and let them air dry. That worked well with no danger of destroying your washer/dryer.

I've had mine for about 2 months and haven't had a problem. And to be honest the first time I cleaned it was yesterday. I have been using DoTerra oils in it. Hopefully the manufacturer or vendor can provide you some help.

I've never tried washing it, myself. I just put the "My Brest Friend Professional Slipcover" (vinyl) on the pillow, then the fabric slipcover over that. When there were leaks/spills, I could just wipe clean the vinyl slipcover (when necessary, it's also machine washable), and washed the fabric slipcover. I thought the extra expense was so worth it to keep the foam clean!

I hand washed mine it shouldn't do any thing bad?? But I removed the plush on the inside and customized my pillow into a sipper case.

If you have the white ones like us. I found stripping the cushion covers off and putting in normal laundry quite effective. In fact, I imagine it would work on all of them. I wash them twice a year. Just make sure you keep track which cover goes with what shape pillow or it can be challenging.

i've not washed mine, i just whack it to get hair, crumbs out. BUT if i were to wash iti'd probably put it in a pillow case, delicate, cold, etc.

You're not going to clean the entire pillow. You just want to spot clean it. Again, it doesn't harbor bacteria and mold like normal pillows do, so don't worry that it's got germs, you know, if you're a bit of a hypochondriac, the best thing to have is memory foam. Just sprinkle baking soda on it, grab your vacuum. Vacuum the baking soda off. Now, if you need to spot clean it, just have a cup of mild dish soap and water and use paper towels. Just use a clean rag and wipe the pillow down with the soap and water mix. Then use paper towels, but just press it on there. The water will really be down in the foam. So you want to keep a towel on top of it and just let it sit over night. Let it get completely dry before you put a pillow case back on it.

You can spot clean the actual pillow with a mild detergent. It is not machine washable or machine dryable.

I haven't looked for one, but I do use a travel pillowcase over this pillow to help keep it clean. I change it when I change my other pillowcases.

Our pillow had NO smell what so ever. Something is definately wrong with yours. Return it. I would not use it. We have had no problem with Beans72. Infact, we ordered additional hulls to replace hulls in an old pillow. No smell...ever!

I found when inflating both of our pillows that moisture residue from breath causes the plugs to slip out. Drying it with a facial tissue resolved the issue for us. Hope it will work as well for you. Bon voyage!

I haven't cleaned mine yet but it is dusty, I will use the brush attachment from my vacuum, but the aerosol can used to clean computers also seems like a good idea!

I cannot say about washing these pillows as I have not washed them yet they have had very limited used. However I have washed fiber filled king pillows two at a time for years. I cannot speak to washing 'gel filled' pillows. However the time will come and I will wash mine. If they make it-- fine. If they don't-- well, I'll just buy another set. But two kings will fit nicely in your washer.

Not really; I washed mine and the filling in the comforter has been kinda funky and some what mis-shaped since! Wish I hadn't done that one!
