Retinol stained my pillow yellow — here’s the 1-step pre-wash that restored it to bright white
Has retinol left a discolored ring on your bedding? Here's the $1 ingredient I used to get the yellow patch out of my pillow and restore my bedding to pristine white condition.
One person discovered that their retinol-stained pillow could be restored to bright white with just one ingredient. Retinol is known to leave yellow patches on bedding, and the writer found that their new pillow had a small yellow ring where their face rested. After trying various cleaning methods, they found that a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution was the most effective way to remove the stain.
By pouring a small amount of the solution onto a cloth and dabbing it onto the stain, then allowing it to sit for 30 minutes and scrubbing it with an old toothbrush, the yellow ring was lifted and the pillow returned to its original white condition. The writer also recommends using a pillow protector and hydrogen peroxide to prevent future retinol stains.
