How to properly wash a heavy blanket: a reminder for housewives
The cold season is coming, which means that a heavy blanket, which is so comfortable to sleep under in winter, will soon appear from the closet.
However, along with it comes the headache of how to wash it.
Let's figure out what you need to consider before washing a bulky item.
How to Wash a Heavy Blanket
First, weigh the item. If it weighs more than 9 kilograms, it cannot be washed at home.
Secondly, it is recommended to put a duvet cover on the blanket before washing it. And before that, visible stains should be removed from the surface of the product.
It is not recommended to use bleaches and fabric softeners, which may damage the product's filling.
Only a delicate cycle is suitable for washing the blanket. Remember that only mild detergents and cool water are allowed.
A special drying machine is perfect for drying the item. However, if you don’t have one at home, then it’s better to dry the item in the open air, turning it over every 4 hours to speed up the process.
