How do you clean and dry pillows?

I have washed pillows both feather and foam. Make sure the machine is balanced with other object which will be of same weight. Keep an eye out for stress on machine and especially balance during spinning cycle. Drying can be the problem, I'd let foam dry in air, feather pillows can be dried in dryer making sure there are no leaking feathers. I didn't do this on one occasion and had a heck of a time cleaning the dryer of all residue feathers!. An of course, clean that lint filter everytime you use dryer, whether drying pillows or anything else. The above would hold true for fiber filled pillows but these tend to compress and get lumpy.
