The easiest way to clean your favorite item from dust and dirt, as you know, is to wash it in a washing machine.
But can this method be used when it comes to a soft blanket, the embodiment of coziness and an irreplaceable companion on chilly autumn evenings?
Can you wash a blanket in a washing machine?
To answer this question, you need to carefully study the information on the product label.
Manufacturers always indicate whether the blanket can be washed in a washing machine, the recommended temperature, the possibility of using bleaches and spinning.
How to wash a blanket
Now that you are convinced that machine cleaning is acceptable in your particular case, we suggest you familiarize yourself with simple recommendations: they will tell you how to wash a blanket in a washing machine.
1. To place the product in the washing machine, it must be rolled into a roll (not tightly) and evenly placed inside the drum.
2. Select the appropriate program from the home appliance menu.
3. Pour liquid detergent into the special compartment, corresponding to the weight of the blanket in kilograms. You can also use capsules, but powders that dissolve slowly and can leave particles between the fibers of the material should be avoided.
4. Don't forget about fabric softener to neutralize static electricity (especially important for synthetic fabrics) and make the product soft.
5. If you are not sure how to wash a blanket in a washing machine, since there is no label with the manufacturer's recommendations on the product, it is better to avoid spinning at high speeds, since this is fraught with deformation of the product. The optimal spin speed is 600 rpm (we repeat, unless there are other instructions on the label).
