Cleaning Pillowcases with Hair Product

Hi all,
Quick OS question I'm sure someone will know the answer to...
I shower in the morning so usually I go to bed still with hair products in my hair (I'm male, so wax and hairspray). When I wash my bedding, even the longer washes don't remove all of these products so the pillowcases get build up with it... Doesn't look very nice and I know they are not 100% clean!
Any tips on how to remove this? Tried soaking in hot water then scrubbing with shampoo before putting in the wash. It did help but doesn't clean them totally.
Cheers,
Kevin
