What's wrong with drying the quilt in winter? Are you really drying the quilt right
4hw.org: when winter comes, it's a common thing for us to do. The quilt is covered with warmth and the smell of sunshine. Moreover, according to relevant research, if we don't dry the quilt for three months, 6 million mites will be produced. But are you really right about drying the quilt? Let's see what mistakes are there in drying the quilt together!
Misunderstandings in daily quilt drying
Myth 1: the longer the sun shines, the better
It's not that the longer and more times you spend in the sun, the better. Long time exposure to the sun will cause damage to the quilt fiber and reduce the warmth retention effect. Down quilt and wool quilt should not be exposed to the sun. High temperature will change the oil content of feathers and wool and send out putrefaction. It is suggested that between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., two or three hours of sun exposure is enough.
Mistake 2: Pat hard while drying
Many people are used to beating the quilt vigorously when they are drying it to make the quilt fluffy and drive away the dust. In fact, it will take away the heat accumulated in the quilt, and the fluffy degree will decrease instead. If it is space cotton and fiber silk cotton, vigorously beating will damage the fiber and reduce the service life. After drying, shake the quilt and gently brush off the dust with a soft brush.
Mistake 3: cover the sun dried quilt directly
The quilt that has been dried is warm. Many people like to use it to take a nap in the morning. In fact, the cotton fiber of the quilt that has been dried expands. Many babies and people whose respiratory tract is not very healthy will be very sensitive to this kind of fiber, and may have coughs or allergies if affected. It is recommended to put it on and then sleep.
In addition, many dust mites are hard to be eradicated by ordinary sun drying. You can use a large black plastic bag to tie up these articles to be sun dried and then put them in the sun. Black plastic bags help absorb more heat to reach the temperature at which dust mites die (50 degrees).
Finally, before the quilt is stored for a long time and just taken out of the cabinet for use, it should be dried. In addition to quilts, towels, dolls, blankets, etc. at home should also be exposed to the sun to eliminate mites.
