As houseproud as you might well be, pillowcases don't always look their best after years of use, especially if you've got white or light-coloured bedding. Human moisture, such as sweat or dampness from your hair will, over time, create unsightly yellow stains that don't exactly scream cosy night in under the duvet. I have one such pillowcase myself, and for a while, I'd kind of given up on it ever looking fit for public view again. Then I heard about a very nifty hack that Mrs Hinch fans swear works like a charm. In a post shared via a Mrs Hinch fan page, a number of cleaning gurus advised that Napisan was "the way forward" when it comes to ridding your pillowcases of unsightly yellowing. One person urged: "Soak in Napisan overnight or at least for a few hours and then wash in the machine. Add more Napisan and usual detergent." Although doubtful my dismal pillowcase could ever really be salvaged, I decided to follow their instructions anyway as best I could, and, after initially struggling to find the product at my local shops, purchased two 800g cartons of Napisan from Amazon for a total of £12.10. This was admittedly a bit more than I'd usually pay for a cleaning product, but I reasoned that the size of the cartons meant I'd get plenty of use of them. As per the product description, unlike a regular detergent, Napisan disinfects as well as cleans, and works by releasing active oxygen in a way that removes stains and kills germs invisible to the human eye. Naturally, like most people, I'm keen on the idea of resting my head on a germ-free pillow at night, and was keen to see the difference Napisan would make over my usual household){kind=link}
