Does the comforter smell musty or is it stained? It's time for cleaning and laundry.

Many housewives face a number of problems when the question arises of how to wash wadded blanket at home. The work is really difficult and troublesome.

However, such a product must be washed. After all, it absorbs sweat and dust well, which is an excellent environment for germs and dust mites.

Surface cleaning

If there is no time for a total wash, only the stains formed on the material can be removed. And you can do it at home too.

Proper cleaning of contaminants:

1. First, knock out all the dust. The blanket is taken out into the street and this is done with the help of a special carpet beater. You can leave the bedding outside for a while so that unpleasant odors disappear.
2. While the blanket is hanging outside, prepare a soapy solution and pour into a spray bottle. Make sure the sprayer works and sprays properly, not a trickle.
3. Then lay the bedspread on a flat surface, if it is the floor, then wash it, dry it and then lay out the product.
4. On the dirt formed during the use of the blanket, apply a spot of soapy water and gently rub with the hard side of the sponge. The agent should not have time to be absorbed into the filler. This is a superficial cleaning, so do not pour it too much.

In the same way, a downy and woolen blanket is cleaned with small spots on the surface.

The procedure can be repeated if necessary. But after it, you should dry the product thoroughly. If you leave the blanket to dry on its own, soap stains will be visible, and a clear contour will remain from the water.

If stains do appear, this is a great way to remove them. It takes little time and removes dirt.

The blanket is washed quickly, but if it is larger, you will need the help of another person to wring out excess liquid and hang to dry.

Action algorithm:

1. Water is poured into the bath, the temperature of which must correspond, and the product is placed in it.
2. Soap solution is prepared in a separate container: laundry soap combined with 2 measuring caps of washing powder. If the blanket is very dirty, the concentration of one of the products can be increased to get a more effective and effective solution.
3. It is poured into a bath with a blanket and soaked for 30 minutes.
4. After the time allotted for the procedure, they take a brush and actively rub all contaminated places.
5. When the product is immediately pulled out, it is squeezed out of excess liquid, then it is rinsed, squeezed again and hung out to dry.

For soaking, it is better to use liquid or capsule powder. If it is the most common, then first wait until all the grains dissolve, and then pour it into the bath.

After rubbing with a brush, do not leave the product for a long time in dirty water. It will be saturated with this liquid, and even after rinsing it will be a little gray.

Washing a quilt at home is difficult, but effective.

For white products, you can add a little hydrogen peroxide or ammonia to the solution. These substances perfectly bleach. Only here the main thing is to regularly turn the product over, at least 3 times in half an hour.

This is necessary for whitening to occur evenly.

Manual way

Wadded bedspreads serve for a long time, they perfectly retain heat. However, like any item of home wardrobe, they need to be washed. This product can be cleaned manually.

How to wash a quilt:

1. First you need to make a soap solution. You will need any stain remover suitable for the type of fabric from which the fabric is made (it is also chosen based on color), a foam rubber sponge and a hard brush for cleaning carpets.
2. In this case, soaking is not required. The blanket is taken out into the street and all the dust is knocked out, because when wet it will penetrate even more into the internal fibers.
3. Then take a carpet brush and remove dry dirt. After that, the means prepared for washing are used.
4. The product is laid out on a flat surface, an oilcloth of a suitable size is laid under it.
5. Processing begins with laundry and washing powder. They are mixed in equal amounts, wait for the complete dissolution of both substances and proceed to clean the contaminants. They treat not only the spots themselves, but the entire surface. At the same time, it is impossible to allow strong penetration of moisture inside, otherwise it will take a long time to dry the product or a musty smell will appear.
6. Then cleaning is carried out with a purchased stain remover. Be sure to wear gloves, usually such products contain caustic substances that leave burns on the hands. Stain remover, unlike washing powder and laundry soap, is applied only to heavily soiled areas. After its application, wait for some time (it is indicated on the package), and then blot with a dry cloth. Vanish stain remover is one of the the best means among all, it is recommended to use it for cleaning a wadded blanket.
7. After such treatment, they again pass over the surface of the product with a foam rubber sponge moistened in a solution of washing powder and laundry soap.

Thus, the bedding is processed from two sides. After finishing the treatment with detergents, the product can be rinsed in a basin with warm water.

You will have to rinse several times, there will be a lot of foam. You can simply soak a sponge in clean water and use it to remove residues from the surface of the product. This procedure is longer, but after it there will be no smell of dampness if the blanket is not dried out.

At the end, hang the product on the balcony under direct Sun rays for drying. If possible, take it outside so that the sun dries equally on all sides.

Typewriter machine

Can a quilt be washed in a washing machine? Probably every woman asks this question. You can wash a quilt in the machine if it corresponds to the maximum weight that can be placed in the unit.

5. After the end of the cycle, you can not leave the product to stale, so carry out the procedure when one of the household members is at home. If the blanket is left in the machine for a long time, it will begin to sag.

The product is lightly wrung out and taken out to dry outside. It is advisable to dry on a flat surface, and not in an upright position. In this case, it is necessary to turn it over regularly.

It is important not only to know the rules for washing, but also how to care for such products.

Numerous advantages of wadded blankets are undeniable: they do not cause allergies, are light and natural, and serve as a good source of heat. But all these positive points pale when you have to think about how to wash a quilt.

Dry cleaning is contraindicated for these products, and they simply will not fit in the washing machine. Of course, it is possible to purchase a new blanket after each serious contamination or accumulation of dust in the filler, the price of the item allows this, but there are other options. If desired, a functional thing is quickly restored at home, but this will require serious work.

Features of using a washing machine to clean the product

A children's wadded blanket fits perfectly in an automatic typewriter, so with this product, which is rapidly losing cleanliness and freshness, there will be no special problems (at least before the drying procedure). True, you first need to make sure that after getting wet, the object will not weigh a critical amount and will not provoke a breakdown of household appliances.

At the same time, it is necessary to wash a wadded blanket with the following parameters:

1. The maximum water temperature is set at 40ºС.
2. Washing mode should be delicate or manual. The number of revolutions can be set independently at the lowest setting.

Tip: It is recommended to load several new tennis balls together with the blanket into the machine, then the material will not roll up so much.

1. Traditional washing powder it is better to replace it with a liquid analogue, then there will be no problems with the procedure for washing out the composition from the fibers.
2. The spin on the washing machine will have to be turned off altogether, otherwise the blanket will have to be thrown away. The bulk of the water must be removed by hand, using pressure rather than twisting movements. Additionally, you can use terry towels.

Immediately after removing the item from the washing machine, the item must be dried, otherwise it will be almost impossible to break the lumps later. And this is not only not very attractive and not convenient, but also the risk of mold and yellow streaks.

Rules for manual cleaning of a wadded blanket

The only option for restoring the freshness and cleanliness of an overall wadded blanket is its manual processing. It may take more than one hour to conduct it at home, but the result will be optimal. To carry out the manipulation, it is necessary to prepare a basin with warm water, a washing gel or powder, laundry soap shavings, a stain remover, a foam rubber sponge and a hard brush.

Features of cleaning and the sequence of stages:

• Soaking will have to be abandoned in favor of surface treatment. The blanket can only be soaked if there is extensive organic contamination. In this case, you will have to use a bath and gel detergents (it is almost impossible to wash the powder out of a cotton product).
• Before starting wet processing, the object must be cleaned of dry contaminants, dust must be knocked out. If you immediately wet the fabric, then harmless dust particles will be absorbed into the filler, which will lead to its deterioration.
• We lay out the prepared blanket on a dense horizontal surface. We prepare an active solution by adding laundry soap shavings, liquid or dry washing powder to warm water. It is necessary to achieve complete dissolution of the product, otherwise stains and a specific smell from the product are guaranteed and these phenomena can be eliminated only as a result of repeated washings.
• Then the cleaning begins. We dip the selected tool in the finished solution and treat obvious spots with it first. Ideally, you need to walk with detergent over the entire surface of the product on both sides. If necessary, we treat especially resistant formations with a stain remover. The main thing is that the clothes do not get wet through.
• After achieving the desired result, you can start rinsing. To do this, we collect cool clean water in a basin and with a clean sponge we also pass over the entire surface of the blanket. Only after removing all signs of soap is it allowed to dry the item.

Even if puddles form on the surface of the blanket during the cleaning process, it should not be wrung out. We only blot the problem area with a dry cloth until the matter remains dry.

How to properly dry a household item after washing?

The cleaned thing must be placed horizontally, spreading all the folds and creases as much as possible. The best option calcining the blanket in direct sunlight is considered. In this case, ultraviolet eliminates all pathogenic microorganisms, including dust mites. By hanging the blanket, you can provoke the deformation of the filler and it will be difficult to break the formed clods.

If lumps appeared during the processing of the product, then they must be systematically broken as the object dries. To do this, use your hands or a suitable cane. When forming dense lumps, due to the violation of all the rules for processing a wadded blanket, it is better to wash the product, stretching the problematic formations with your hands. After that, you need to dry again, but taking into account the recommendations.

If the first time it was not possible to achieve the desired result, it is worth thinking about replacing the product. It will not survive another aggressive work.

Such a procedure as washing a wadded blanket scares many. The filler is very capricious and if the manufacturer sewed the product of poor quality, then it will only have to be thrown away. Consider how to wash a wadded blanket.

Automatic cleaning

If you need to wash at home Baby blanket filled with cotton wool, it will easily fit in an automatic machine. with product big size everything is more complicated. Here you need to estimate in advance the approximate weight when it gets wet. Otherwise, household appliances may break.

If you still decide on an automatic wash, then you need to use the following parameters:

1. The water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees.
2. Preferably choose a manual or delicate wash cycle.
3. Set only the lowest spin speed.
4. It is better to replace ordinary washing powder with a liquid counterpart. In this case, no agent will remain in the fibers of the fabric.
5. If possible, it is better to turn off the automatic spin mode, and remove excess moisture manually.

To prevent the cotton filling from rolling up so much, we recommend putting a few tennis balls with the blanket.

After the duvet has been cleaned in the washing machine, dry it thoroughly immediately. This will help avoid large lumps. It is better to do it in the open air in the unfolded form. In this case, the risk of mold and yellow stains appearing inside will be minimized.

Manual cleaning

If you do not trust the washing machine, then you can clean the blanket with your own hands. It doesn't matter if it's a child or an adult. It is worth noting right away that for this you must stock up on a lot of free time. To clean a cotton blanket at home, prepare the following:

• warm water;
• liquid washing powder;
• crushed laundry soap;
• stain remover;
• sponge or brush with stiff bristles.

If the contamination is large, then it is better to soak the product. To do this, pour water into the bath, add a cleaning agent and lay a blanket. In another case, we suggest stopping at surface cleaning. We do everything according to the instructions:

1. Before processing, be sure to shake out all the dust. Lay on a hard horizontal surface.
2. We dissolve laundry soap and washing powder in warm water.
3. Take a sponge or brush, dip into the working solution and begin to rub the stain thoroughly. If necessary, treat the entire surface. For stubborn organic stains, use a stain remover.
4. Remove the remaining detergent with a clean sponge and cool water.
5. Dry bedding thoroughly.
