How to remove the odor from the quilt?

Quilts are a common warming item and are indispensable in people's lives, because using quilts to keep warm while sleeping can make people spend a comfortable night and promote people to get enough rest. However, due to the thick nature of the quilt, it is easy for it to breed bacteria and produce odors, etc., which will cause harm to health over time. Let's see how to remove the odor of the quilt.

Cotton quilts are the most common in rural areas. If the cotton quilt has an odor, you can separate the cotton and the surface, then expose the cotton to the sun for three or four hours, wash the surface with water in the washing machine and dry it. Then when you fold the quilt, put in a desiccant and a few bars of nice-smelling soap and place it in the cupboard.

There is another method that is also more common. If the quilt has an odor, do not dry it in the sun. Even if you do, do not dry it for more than 20 minutes. After drying, it is best to hang it on the balcony to allow the flowing air to slowly dispel the odor.

1. This is the smell of new cotton, the faint smell of cotton resin. Cotton will secrete a kind of oil on the surface of cotton fibers, so that after the moisture in its own cells dries up, it will not be easy for external moisture to invade, thus protecting the cotton seeds from being wetted and deteriorated.

3. The newer the cotton, the stronger the smell. Old cotton has no smell because the volatile fat is gone, leaving only solid fat, which makes the cotton become more and more yellow. If you don’t like the smell, you can go to the supermarket and buy activated carbon to remove odors, and just put it on the quilt for some time.
