To truly keep your bedroom in order, it is not enough to do wet cleaning and change bed linen every 1-2 weeks.

Pillows, blankets and mattresses are real dust collectors. Meticulous housewives try to clean them at least a couple of times a year.

It is quite easy to wash synthetic blankets in the washing machine. To do this, it is enough to remember a few simple rules.

How to wash a blanket

1. The first important rule concerns loading the item into the drum. The item should be evenly distributed in the drum so that it does not form a lump.

It is important to remember that when wet, the blanket will gain weight. The item will become approximately 2 times heavier. Therefore, you need to understand in advance whether the machine can withstand such weight.

2. As for washing products, it is better to choose between compositions for delicate or children's items. They dissolve in water faster.

3. After washing, the blanket must be shaken several times and dried well to prevent a musty smell from appearing.

It is better not to let the product get to this point, otherwise you will have to change the filler, as mold may appear in it.
