Throw Pillow Cleaning

You wash your sheets and blankets—why not your pillows? Keep your throw pillows looking and smelling their best with our expert care!

Throw pillows might be small, but they make a big impact—on both your decor and your indoor air quality. And while you might fluff them up now and then, surface cleaning just won’t cut it.

When was the last time your throw pillows got a real cleaning? If you can’t remember, it’s time to call McLendon Cleaners! We bring nearly eight decades of dry cleaning experience to help refresh and restore your favorite pillows, so they’re not just fluffed up, but truly clean, fresh, and allergen free.

Drop off your throw pillows today or schedule a pickup!

Is It Time to Clean Your Throw Pillows? Here’s How to Tell

Your throw pillows may look fine at first glance, but how clean are they really? If they've absorbed dust, pet dander, body oils, and allergens, these won't just disappear with a quick shake or fabric spray.

So how do you know when it’s time to get them professionally cleaned? Here are the clear signs to look for:
  • They look dull or discolored
  • They smell musty or unpleasant
  • They feel sticky or greasy
  • They trigger allergies or irritation
  • They feel flat and less fluffy
  • They haven’t been cleaned in over six months
  • They’ve suffered spills or stains
  • They lose their shape easily

How Often You Should Schedule a Professional Throw Pillow Cleaning Service

At McLendon Cleaners, we’ve been perfecting our wedding dress cleaning and preservation process for decades, and we’re proud to offer the best service around. Here’s why many brides choose us to take care of their wedding gowns:
Three decorative pillows stacked on top of each other with geometric patterns in black, white, yellow, and gray, resting on a bed of small gray stones.
General Rule: Clean at Least Twice a Year
For most households, professional pillow cleaning every six months is enough to keep them looking and smelling fresh. This helps remove accumulated dust, body oils, and environmental pollutants regular vacuuming or spot cleaning can’t fully eliminate.
If You Have Pets, Children, or Allergies: Clean Every 3-4 Months
If your pillows are frequent landing spots for pets and children, they can trap more dirt, fur, and bacteria than you realize. Plus, if someone in your home suffers from allergies or asthma, keeping throw pillows clean can help reduce dust mites, pet dander, and pollen buildup that can trigger symptoms. In these cases, scheduling a professional Throw Pillow Cleaning Service every 3-4 months is a smart way to maintain a healthier home.
If Your Pillows Are Decorative and Rarely Used: Once a Year May Be Enough
For purely decorative throw pillows that aren’t handled or leaned on often, a once-a-year deep clean may be sufficient. Even if they sit untouched, fabric still collects dust and airborne particles over time, so an annual refresh helps prevent buildup and keeps your pillows looking their best.
Situations That Call for Immediate Cleaning

Regardless of routine cleaning schedules, some situations require an urgent refresh to prevent long-term damage:

  • Spills and Stains – Food, drinks, or makeup can set into the fabric if not cleaned professionally.
  • Odors and Mustiness – If your pillows smell stale, they’re likely holding on to trapped bacteria and moisture.
  • Pet Accidents – Whether it’s pet hair, dander, or an accident, professional cleaning ensures deep sanitization.
  • Recent Illness in the Home – If someone has been sick, cleaning frequently used pillows helps remove germs.

How We Restore and Refresh Your Throw Pillows

At McLendon Cleaners, we use a step-by-step process to gently but thoroughly clean your throw pillows, ensuring they look, feel, and smell brand new without damaging their fabric or shape.

Here’s exactly how we do it:
Fabric and Filling Inspection

Before we clean anything, we carefully inspect your throw pillows to determine:

  • The fabric type (cotton, velvet, silk, linen, etc.)
  • The filling material (down, foam, synthetic, etc.)
  • Any stains, odors, or problem areas that need special attention

This ensures we use the proper cleaning method to preserve your pillows while removing all dirt and buildup.

Deep Cleaning and Stain Removal

For machine-washable throw pillows, we use a gentle yet powerful cleaning process that removes:

  • Deep-set stains (wine, makeup, food, etc.)
  • Pet hair and dander
  • Sweat, oils, and dust buildup
Odor Neutralization and Allergen Removal

Over time, throw pillows absorb odors from pets, smoke, cooking, and everyday use. Our deep cleaning process eliminates odors at the source—we don’t just mask them with fragrance. Our process:

  • Removes musty, stale smells
  • Neutralizes pet odors
  • Reduces allergens like dust mites and pollen
Fluffing and Shape Restoration

Cleaning is only half the job—we also restore the original fluff and shape of your pillows. Using expert techniques, we:

  • Gently reshape foam-filled and down-filled pillows
  • Ensure even fluff distribution (no more lumpy cushions!)
  • Smooth out wrinkles and creases for a refreshed look
Fabric Protection Treatment (Optional)

To keep your pillows cleaner for longer, we offer an optional fabric protection treatment that helps repel future stains and spills. This is a great choice for:

  • Light-colored throw pillows
  • Households with pets or children
  • High-use decorative pillows
Advanced Dry Cleaning for Delicate Fabrics

If your pillows have delicate fabrics or intricate designs (like embroidery, tassels, or beading), we use a solvent-based dry cleaning process that gently lifts dirt and stains without damaging the material.

Protect Your Pillows and Your Home with the Professional Throw Pillow Cleaning Service at McLendon Cleaners—We’re Here to Help!

Throw pillows aren’t just decorations—they’re a part of your everyday comfort. Instead of replacing dirty, flattened pillows, let McLendon Cleaners deep clean and restore them for you. Whether your pillows are part of your living room décor, bedroom setup, or patio furniture, we make sure they come back fresh, fluffy, and ready to cozy up with again.

Honestly, I don’t know why I hadn’t left a review sooner.This place is simply amazing.Yeah it’s a cleaners, but it’s more than that. Every time I enter this place the personnel is always welcoming and smiling. They do first class service, and the prices are very reasonable. I just found out they do comforters, which is another plus because these can damage your washer. I don’t like going to laundry mats especially because of the people running in out of some of them, that aren’t even doing laundry. Don’t get me started on laundry mat sanitation….. 🫢This the best cleaners I’ve ever been to, even better than the ones in DFW area. ✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

My name is Monica White and I am so satisfied with McLendon Cleaners. They are super conveniently located for me to drop off and pick up around my work schedule. They send a text when things are ready and they give you a gift if you are new! I thought that was really nice. Everyone was helpful and I didn’t have to even get out of my car. It was a wonderful first experience and I will absolutely go back there again.
