Several points to pay attention to when drying the quilt

Many hardworking housewives have the habit of drying quilts, especially the warm sun in the winter, which makes people feel the urge to spread the quilt in the sun. However, most people will make mistakes in some self-righteous habits. Everyone should remind you of the following points when drying the quilt:

1. The drying time is too long and the frequency is too frequent

Winter sunshine is short, so it gives people the feeling of "sunshine", so many people like to move the quilt to the terrace after getting up on the weekend, until the evening before sunset. In fact, the best drying time is from 11 noon to 2 pm. Usually, cotton fiber will reach a certain degree of swelling after being exposed to sunlight for three or four hours. It has received a good drying effect, and the drying time is too long. Too much will cause the cotton fiber to shorten and cause it to fall off, and the warmth of the quilt will be greatly reduced. Especially duvets and wool quilts, because they contain oil in their materials. After exposure, these substances will chemically change and produce odor. When the silk is exposed, it will destroy the protein components in the material, causing discoloration and cracking. Simply dry in a dry, ventilated place for one to two hours.

2. The quilt is not divided

Generally speaking, when drying, it is best to be inside to the sun, to protect the surface of the material, and to let the direct contact with the sun to receive the best drying effect. If you consider that there are too many dusts, you are used to facing the outside. You should cover the surface with a thin cloth to protect the quilt, especially the chemical fiber fabric, from being burnt at high temperatures.

3. Strike hard after drying

The traditional concept has always been that quilts that are laid out for a long time must be clean and fluffy. But do you know? The fiber of cotton is thick and short, and it is very easy to break. If you beat it with a stick, it will break the fiber into dusty cotton dust. The quilt made of synthetic fiber is thin and easy. Deformation, once beaten, the fiber shrinkage plate can not be restored after it is formed into a block; the duvet can not be beaten, otherwise the down will break into a small "feather dust", and the warmth effect will be affected. For hygiene reasons, you can safely take back your home with a broom sweeping the dust on the quilt.
