Blankets, throws and pillows must be washed.

The easiest way is to use dry cleaning services, but if you want to save money, you can do the procedure yourself.

Most often, problems arise with cleaning the blanket.

It is difficult to fit such a thing into the drum of the machine. Therefore, it is better to use another method.

To do this, fill the bathtub with warm water, dilute the washing powder there, and then lower the blanket into the resulting solution for several hours. During this time, the material will become heavy, since it will absorb the liquid, which means it is not worth lifting.

Experienced housewives recommend starting to trample the blanket with your feet right in the bathtub for about 20 minutes.

If the blanket is very dirty, you will have to drain the dirty water and fill it up again a couple of times.

When the blanket is completely washed, it should be rinsed to remove the remaining powder. Then it should be rolled up and the remaining moisture should be "squeezed out", but again with your feet.
