Sometimes after washing, instead of clean and fresh pillows and blankets, you can get deformed and damaged products.
And the reason for this may be some mistakes made during washing.
To avoid this, it is worth following several important rules.
Reading labels
This is the most banal advice, but many often ignore it.
The label on pillows and blankets contains washing instructions.
In particular, the washing mode and water temperature are indicated here.
If you adhere to these indicators, you can avoid unnecessary problems and deformation of the product.
We choose a gentle mode
It is also recommended to wash pillows and blankets on a gentle cycle or choose one that is suitable for delicate fabrics.
The optimal temperature in this case will be between 30 and 40 degrees.
In addition, it is advisable to use gel-type products for washing blankets and pillows.
They rinse better, so the filler will not get clumped too much.
When washing such items, it is worth setting a double rinse cycle.
Drying correctly
It is advisable to dry blankets and pillows in the fresh air.
If this is not possible, then it is worth putting them on a drying rack and placing it near the window.
It is important that the room in this case is well ventilated.
After the pillow and blanket, it is not recommended to put them away in the closet immediately.
Even after drying, it is advisable to leave them indoors for a few days and dry them thoroughly.
It is advisable to wash them at least once every three months.
