recycling old pillows
Instead of throwing out your old pillow, wash it at 60 degrees to kill any dustmites or germs, then use the filling to make new cushion pads to replace cushions that have gone flat. Also, for people who are into patchwork / quilting, some old pillows are just a roll of polyester wadding that has been rolled up. I discovered this to my surprise and delight...I just unrolled the wadding carefully and I had enough for 8 pram quilts. Much cheaper than buying wadding in fabric shops!
