How to wash a blanket in a washing machine?

If it seems that the clothes after the next winter season remained clean, you still need to wash it, and the surest way is to throw it into an automatic machine. Only ignorance of clear rules is fraught with the fact that the product can be damaged forever.

In modern conditions, even a child can wash the blanket in the washing machine, the main thing is to know which function and mode to choose for this.

When choosing a program for the “machine”, the composition of the filler and the color of the cover are taken into account specifically:

• a colored bedspread will require gentle washing;
• wool and silk blankets are washed in special modes indicated on the machine specifically for such fabrics;
• for bedding from synthetic winterizer, silicone, holofiber, the “synthetic” mode is suitable;
• the “duvet” mode speaks for itself, but in this case, the “servant” program is also suitable.

To set the temperature correctly, you need to read the instructions for caring for the product. The manufacturer of pillows and blankets describes the details on the label, which is why it is so important to keep it as long as possible until you remember the information you need. Some recommendations:

1. silk and wool products will need cool water no higher than 35 degrees;
2. at a temperature of up to 45 degrees, down comforters, items from a bike, cotton wool, bamboo and other natural fillers are washed;
3. hotter water - up to 60 degrees, used for cleaning synthetic and linen bedspreads.

When choosing how to wash bedding, proceed from the type of filler they have. Liquid formulations are preferred. So, it is better to wash wool products with the following compounds:

• "Villus";
• Help;
• Luxus
• "Cashmere Stork."

These liquid products do not require the use of air conditioners. Blankets from swan fluff are washed with down-care products:

• "Profhim";
• "Unipuh";
• Salton;
• Woly and others.

But granular (bulk) powders are suitable for synthetic materials. It:

• "Spring tenderness";
• "I was born";
• "Eared nannies";
• BabyLine.

The temperature regime is selected no higher than 60 degrees, bikes and quilts are not twisted. In the absence of a liquid powder, granular application is possible, but only in small quantities. It is best used when washing blankets of all types of gels and capsules with a viscous composition. Among these products are children's hypoallergenic products.

When choosing a tool for washing blankets, you need to consider not only the composition of the filler, but also the fabric of the cover. For a silk base, you can make a solution of soap (laundry) or use liquid compositions:

• "Shama";
• "Big Wash";
• Drift;
• Perwoll;
• "Weasel".

When cleaning bedding with fillers in the typewriter, it is recommended to lay 4-5 tennis balls or special balls for washing. They break the fibers and prevent the filler from slipping.

Without them, lumps may form in the blanket. Consider separately the rules for washing blankets from different materials.

Before washing, it is necessary to inspect the product, sew up holes or strengthen the joints so that the filler does not fall out during the operation of the drum. Otherwise, this will lead to spoilage of the bedspread itself and breakdown of the “machine”, the filter may clog. Then do so.

1. The blanket is folded in three layers and rolled up, after which it is placed in the drum of the washing machine.
2. Gel is poured into the container (only liquid composition is suitable for this material).
3. They start the machine in delicate mode at 30-40 degrees. 40 set for severe contamination.
4. You can enable the additional rinse function and spin at 600 rpm, sometimes allow 800.

Before washing such a product, you need to familiarize yourself with the information on the label, since the manufacturer can specify only hand wash or dry cleaning at all. In this case you need to use dry cleaning services.

If machine wash is not prohibited, then the blanket is folded into a roll and placed in a drum together with a few special balls with spikes or tennis balls - they will let the fluff go astray.

Previously, wool products were washed only by hand, but today in modern washing machines there are special functions with heating water to 30 degrees and without spin. The blanket is slightly wrung out by hands and allowed to drain. Fast revolutions lead to deformation of the material and its stretching.

The best option is to use the “easy drying” mode or let it drain in the bathroom, and then take it out into the air.

This is a very beautiful and necessary thing. Manufacturers recommend Do not expose the camel blanket unnecessarily to water and powder. When there are strong spots on it, wash it along with a duvet cover or in a special case.

Dry cleaning of the product with the help of lanolin cleaners will also help. When dissolved in a liquid, they give a foam that will clean the dirt.But the camel's hair is antistatic, it is not able to absorb dust in large quantities, with proper care, camel blankets can last up to 30 years. They are light, warm, practically do not cause allergic reactions.

The synthetic winterizer product can be washed easily in the car. Here are the key recommendations:

• wash it with a synthetic liquid composition without bleach and fabric softener;
• throw a few tennis balls into the drum, which will make the synthetic winterizer more magnificent;
• You can enable the "intensive rinse";
• Spin set at around 600 rpm;
• special conditions are not required for drying, the blanket can be hung on a clothesline, horizontal bar or other device.

It is dangerous to wash silk in the “automatic machine”; it is better to remove the stains with foam or soapy water, without soaking the entire product in water, or you can go to the dry cleaner. If nevertheless you decide to clean it at home, then the silk filling should be removed, and only the cover itself should be cleaned. Then assemble the product.

This very light product, reminiscent of a synthetic winter blanket, is just as easy to wash, squeeze and dry. You can wash it with powder at 30 degrees, dry it in the “drying” mode, then remove it and set it to air.

A bike is a very comfortable material, when washing it, the main thing is to familiarize yourself with the information on the label and find out what is the percentage of wool in it and other natural components. The more there are, the more delicate the wash should be. The washing mode is selected. with a minimum spin and a water temperature of no higher than 40 degrees.

In this case, it is appropriate to use an air conditioner, which will give the bedspread from the bike additional attractiveness. Severe contamination is recommended to be washed in advance with your hands, using laundry soap.

Hollofiber withstands high temperatures, mechanical stress and intensive washing, it does not deform and does not lose shape. But if the top is not too dirty, you should not abuse the excess speed to freshen up products from this filler, a delicate regime will be enough. Add spin speed and hot water in critical cases, when bleach is acceptable, if the fabric base of the cover allows this.

To summarize and highlight the main tips:

• it is important to check the product for integrity before washing;
• the blanket is not stuffed into the drum anyhow; it is not rolled up tightly;
• the choice of detergent or powder depends on the material;
• tennis balls in the drum will improve the process;
• spinning blankets is possible up to a maximum of 600 revolutions.

Do not discard the label, it will give additional information. No need to break the rules of washing and conduct experiments. Wash products with synthetic fillers easily, which cannot be said about blankets made of sheep or camel hair. They should be ventilated more often and always worn in a duvet cover to wash less.

Another important point: when wet, the blankets absorb a sufficient amount of water and become 2 times heavier. Therefore, the product should be weighed before washing. If the scales show 3 kilograms, and the “machine” is designed for washing 5 kilograms of laundry, then such a blanket will not fit in your typewriter.
