How to wash a padding blanket in a washing machine and what to do next?

Before washing a padding blanket in the washing machine, many housewives think about the correctness of this approach. It seems to them that such a light and gentle filler will not withstand such an aggressive effect. Practice shows that the processing of hypoallergenic material that is popular today should be carried out precisely in an automatic machine, especially if the product is supplemented with covers made of soft calico or artificial satin. The manipulation itself is simple, you only need to take into account a number of specific points.

Is it possible to wash a syntepon blanket at all in an automatic machine?

Can! Necessary! And even preferably. Non-woven raw materials do not suffer at all in the process of intensive processing. Machine wash absolutely does not adversely affect its texture. If desired, even the use of high revolutions is allowed, the material will not lose its functional features and tactile properties. The main thing to remember about the following points:

• First of all, we read the tag on the product with instructions for cleaning it. If there is none, then we follow the standard scheme.

Tip: You should not buy a blanket that has a ban on machine washing on its tag, and instead there is a recommendation to use dry cleaning services. Most likely, not a synthetic winterizer, but its less perfect analogue acts as a filler.

• When choosing a detergent, it is better to give preference to gel powders with enzymes. They will help to wash the product in a quality manner and will not settle between its non-woven fibers.
• If the weight of the product allows, then before sending it to the washing machine you need to wet it (in extreme cases, we do this already in the drum itself). If you ignore this point, the filler may fill with bubbles, which will not allow you to clean the material well.

• Before you start washing, you need to make sure the integrity of the cover. Otherwise, the material may fluff, clog filters, and wear out in separate areas.
• Spin synthetic winterizer does not hurt, but it is better to turn off the drying.

When the washing is finished, we take out the blanket, straighten it on a horizontal surface and dry it, regularly turning it over and shaking it lightly.

What is the best temperature for washing a synthetic winterizer?

Regardless of what type of exposure is chosen, the water temperature should not exceed 40 ° C. On the one hand, this is more than enough to start the work of enzymes, on the other hand, the filler texture will not suffer and will not change. Considering the fact that soft and temperature-sensitive fabrics are used for tailoring covers for synthetic winter blankets, this approach will also prevent their rapid wear.

If you use a higher temperature, the enzyme gel means will lose their cleansing properties almost completely. Powders will have to be used, and they are almost never completely washed out of the filler. As a result, the blanket acquires a strong odor, begins to irritate the skin and can even provoke allergies.

Important specific points for cleaning the padding blanket

If the option of using a washing machine to clean a synthetic winter blanket for some reason does not fit, then you can try other exposure options. True, you need to prepare in advance for possible difficulties:

1. Hand washing is a difficult, troublesome and thankless task.Having become wet, the product will become almost unbearable, it will even be difficult to turn it over to wash, not to mention that rinsing and squeezing it yourself simply will not work.
2. If, nevertheless, a decision was made to wash the synthetic winterizer manually, then it should be placed in water at room temperature, add a little liquid detergent and leave for a quarter of an hour. You should not use brushes or manual processing, it is better to just stamp on the product with your feet.
3. Dry cleaning of such blankets is not carried out at home. In order to achieve complete removal of reagents from the filler after processing, special apparatuses are needed. Therefore, if it is impossible to use the washing machine, it is better to immediately contact a dry cleaner, where they will do everything quickly and efficiently.

If, over time, an unpleasant odor starts to come from the synthetic winterizer blanket that does not disappear even after washing with an air conditioner, this may indicate an accumulation of chemicals between the fibers. To remove the cover in this case in order to carefully work out all the areas manually is too problematic, and not always effective. Sintepon products are quite inexpensive, so it’s better not to experiment and just replace the household item.
