How to properly wash a blanket in a washing machine?
Washing a blanket in a washing machine does not have to be difficult and tiring. Due to the large size of the blankets, it is best to wash them individually without other materials. The blanket is best placed in a horizontal position, for example on a classic standing dryer. This will prevent the blanket from stretching while drying. For washing, it is best to use detergents for delicate materials. It is also recommended to wash the blanket at low temperatures. The optimal temperature will be 30 degrees C. This way, the fibers will not be damaged during washing. Higher temperatures may adversely affect the material and, in extreme cases, destroy the blanket. When washing a blanket, not only the temperature but also the program are important. Avoid high speeds when spinning. It is best to set it to 800 rpm.

Frequent washing and spinning make fabrics in the washing machine stiff and unpleasant to the touch. To prevent this problem, it is worth washing the blanket with vinegar. Pour about 50 ml of white vinegar into the fabric softener compartment and set the wash cycle. Vinegar will be added to the wash in the last phase and will protect the fibers. It has great properties that protect materials from stiffening. A blanket washed with vinegar will be fine. Additionally, as you know, vinegar also has amazing cleaning properties. It eliminates unpleasant odors and has antibacterial properties. It is perfect for people who have an allergic reaction to artificial detergents. Vinegar added to the laundry will make the blanket perfectly soft and pleasant to the touch.
