Clean the bedding
Put the pillows and bedding into a large bowl filled with hot water and let them there for a few minutes. Use an antibacterial mild detergent to clean them; rinse them very well for a few times. If the bedding cannot be washed, clean them with a sponge and soapy water. Use another sponge and water to rinse them.
