Why Tracking Matters

Tasks like wash pillows are easy to forget because they're infrequent. A simple log turns a fuzzy memory into a clear record you can trust, helping you avoid dust buildup and odors.

The recommended cadence is every 3–6 months. Track it each time you complete it and you'll always know exactly when you last did it—and when you should do it next.
