Before washing, be sure to check the labels on the items, which may indicate care instructions.

Also, do not wash bulky blankets if the machine capacity is less than 4 kilograms. In this case, it is better to take the item to the dry cleaner or do hand washing.

There are other rules that you need to remember if you decide to wash your blankets in the washing machine.

As experienced housewives note, there is no need to use powder. It will only settle on the fabric fibers.

It is much better to stock up on gel or special capsules for washing.

The blanket itself should be rolled into a “roll/snail” before washing.

The water temperature during washing can be from 30 to 45 degrees. The ideal spin speed is from 400 to 800 revolutions per minute.

It is important to consider the type of material. For example, acrylic fabrics cannot be washed at temperatures above 45 degrees. And such a blanket can only be wrung out at 400 rpm.
