How to wash pillows from holofiber with a washing machine and not spoil the product?

How to wash holofiber correctly? How often do you need to complete this procedure? Is it possible to carry out processing in a washing machine? Sooner or later, owners who have purchased a blanket or pillows from a unique material come across such questions.

The recommendations of specialists in this field are very contradictory, leaning toward a ban on aggressive machining. But practice shows that machine wash can be quite safe if it is organized taking into account all the features of a capricious filler. True, even the most thoughtful warnings do not give any guarantees, you have to act at your own peril and risk.

Material features and regular care rules

Before acquiring a soft and light pillow, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the specifics of holofiber. This will allow not to face unpleasant situations in the future:

1. Such a blanket or other household product does not leak moisture, does not absorb sweat and odors, does not wear out and does not serve as a breeding ground for ticks. Therefore, it can be washed only once every 6-12 months, provided there is no obvious pollution.
2. If you regularly air the pillows and keep them in the sun, then the need for washing will generally disappear. The product will retain its freshness and purity for many years.
3. Processing in the washing machine significantly reduces the life of the item. If things that are not regularly cleaned are able to maintain their condition for 10 years, then regular exposure will reduce this time by at least half.
4. In the case of holofiber, the best way to recover the material is to go dry cleaning. Given the frequency of approaches, this will not lead to serious financial costs. But specialists will be able to wash a thing quickly and efficiently, without the risk of its deformation.
5. Today, pillows made of holofiber for pregnant women are widely used. Their processing should be carried out at least once a month, and with the appearance of pollution even more often. Machine wash is prohibited. Cleaning is carried out manually using a neutral shampoo.

Observing these recommendations, you can not worry about the quality of the filler. But, if you still have to wash your favorite blanket or a spoiled pillow yourself, you need to adhere to a number of recommendations.

How to wash holofiber in a washing machine?

Despite the fact that manufacturers do not recommend washing the holofiber in a washing machine, modern housewives, by trial and error, have nevertheless adapted to do this without serious consequences for the thing.

To obtain the desired result, you need to perform the following manipulations:

• A holofiber blanket or pillow is strictly forbidden to pre-soak. If you decide to use the machine, then you need to load dry products.

Tip: Some housewives recommend putting tennis balls in the drum along with things so that they break lumps of filler, but this will not greatly protect the structure of the material. It is better to add a couple of towels to the items to minimize the activity of the items.

• We set the mode to delicate or manual. If this is not possible, then select the minimum number of revolutions.
• The temperature should not exceed 30 ° C, even if hand washing can be carried out at higher temperatures.In air, the liquid cools quickly, and in a closed space, exceeding the indicator by even several degrees can be detrimental to the state of things.
• Only gels should be used as a detergent. Otherwise, the blanket will be covered with stains, and from contact with the surface of the pillow you will constantly want to sneeze.
• Spin and dry the washing machine completely off. Such manipulations will have to be carried out manually.

Drying items will not take so long if you remove the filler and spread it in the sun. In any case, the manipulation is best done in the fresh air, regularly turning over a clean object until it completely gets rid of traces of moisture.

The risk of damage to the product can be minimized only if you wash it manually. With this approach, success depends not only on skills, but also on a successful combination of circumstances.

How can material be restored if it has been damaged due to improper machine wash?

If you had to wash an item with a holofiber filler with violations of recommendations, most likely it will be severely deformed and will not deliver as much pleasure during use as before.

Before throwing away a damaged thing, you should try to restore its functionality:

1. We will need a new massage brush on a flat base, a spacious basin and a brush for combing down fluff in pets.
2. We put the spoiled hollofiber in the basin, and, if possible, straighten the lumps with our hands. The material is not volatile, so do not worry that it will spread throughout the room, like fluff.
3. We take a little filler, place it on the teeth of the massage brush and start combing it out with a “nodule”. Thus, you need to work out all the material, achieving the desired texture.

Ideally, the manipulation should be repeated more than once, taking small breaks between sets. Then the raw material will definitely have time to dry qualitatively and its texture will be as close as possible to the original.

It is worth considering that even such painstaking work does not guarantee the desired result. And it is impossible to fully restore the softness and lightness of the filler.

In this case, you can purchase a new household appliance or simply replace the holofiber in it. The spoiled raw materials will perfectly serve as a filler for bedding for pets, ottomans, decorative pillows and needle beds.
