Don’t pat the quilt when drying it. Six steps to scientifically dry the quilt

When the sun comes out in winter, people like to take out their thick quilts to dry in the sun. What is the healthiest way to dry quilts in winter? Let’s talk about the healthiest way to dry quilts. However, drying bedding should be done scientifically. In particular, pay more attention to the following aspects:

first

Choose sunny days to dry bedding, and try to avoid windy days to prevent dust and pollen in the air from falling on the bedding and making it dirty. You should also choose a place with clean air to dry the bedding to avoid "secondary contamination" during the drying process.

Secondly

If bedding has not been used for a long time or is newly purchased, it should be aired before use to facilitate drying and hygiene; bedding that is currently in use can be aired once a week.

third

Although the temperature in winter is not high, the ultraviolet rays in the warm afternoon sunshine are relatively strong. In addition, the air in winter is relatively dry, which can still meet people's needs for drying clothes to remove moisture, mildew and kill bacteria. Generally speaking, it is best to dry bedding between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. every day.

fourth

During the drying process, you should also pat the bedding from time to time to remove dust in the air and dandruff from human skin to make the bedding cleaner.

fifth

Wool and down quilts should not be exposed to the sun. Just dry them in a ventilated place such as a balcony for an hour. If you dry them outdoors, it is best to cover them with a thin cloth to avoid or reduce damage to their fibers caused by direct sunlight, so as to extend their service life and maintain good thermal insulation properties.

sixth

Many people like to pat the quilts after drying them, thinking that it can remove dust and make the quilt fluffy and soft. Experts say this method is not scientific. After drying in the sun, a lot of warm air is stored between the fibers of the quilt, so it feels fluffy, warm and dry when covered. If you beat the cotton wool too hard, the warm air will be blown out of the cotton wool, reducing its fluffiness. Beating will also cause the fibers to break and make them easily clump together. Therefore, after drying the quilt, just brush the surface lightly with a soft-bristled brush to remove the dust.
