How to wash a sintepon blanket in a washing machine - can it be done at high temperatures?

Before washing the sintepon blanket in the washing machine, many housewives are thinking about the correctness of this approach. It seems to them that such a light and gentle filler will not withstand such aggressive effects. Practice shows that the treatment of the popular today hypoallergenic material should be carried out in the automatic machine, especially if the product is supplemented with covers of tender coarse calico or artificial satin. The manipulation itself is simple, it is only necessary to take into account a number of specific moments.

Is it possible to wash a synthetic blanket in a typewriter?

You can! Necessary! And even preferably. Non-woven raw materials do not suffer at all during the intensive processing. Machine wash does not adversely affect its texture. If desired, even the use of large revolutions is permissible, the material will not lose its functional features and tactile properties. The main thing to remember about the following points:

• First of all, we read the tag on the product with instructions for cleaning it. If there is none, then follow the standard scheme.

Advice: It is not necessary to purchase a blanket on the label of which there is a ban on machine washing, and instead there is a recommendation for using dry cleaning services. Most likely, as a filler is not at all a sintepon, but its less perfect analogue.

• When choosing a detergent, it is better to give preference to gel powders with enzymes. They will help to wash the product qualitatively and do not settle between its non-woven fibers.
• If the weight of the product allows, then before sending it to a washing machine, it must be soaked( in extreme cases, we do it already in the drum itself).If you ignore this moment, the filler can fill with bubbles, which will not allow you to clean the material well.

• Before you start washing, you need to make sure the integrity of the cover. Otherwise, the material can fluff, clog filters, wear out in separate areas.
• Spinning the sintepon is not a problem, but it's better to turn off the drying.

When the washing is finished, we take out the blanket, straighten it on a horizontal surface and dry it, regularly turning it over and shaking it lightly.

At what temperature is it best to wash the sintepon?

Regardless of which type of exposure is selected, the water temperature should not exceed 40 ° C.On the one hand, this is more than enough to start the work of enzymes, on the other - the texture of the filler will not suffer and will not change. Considering the fact that soft and temperature-sensitive fabrics are used for sewing covers for sintepon blankets, this approach will also prevent their rapid wear.

If a higher temperature is used, the enzyme gel means will lose their cleaning properties almost completely. You will have to use powders, and they are almost never completely washed out of the filler. As a result, the blanket acquires a strong smell, begins to irritate the skin and can even provoke an allergy.

Important specific cleaning moments of the synthon blanket

If the option using a washing machine for cleaning the sintepon blanket is not suitable for some reason, you can try other options. True, it is necessary to prepare in advance for possible difficulties:

1. Hand washing is a difficult, troublesome and thankless task. Having got wet, the product will become practically unaffordable, it will even be difficult to turn to wash, not to mention that it is impossible to rinse and squeeze it yourself.
2. If nevertheless it is decided to wash the sintepon by hand, then it should be placed in water at room temperature, add a little liquid detergent and leave for a quarter of an hour. It is not necessary to use brushes or manual processing, it is better to just shove the product with your feet.
3. Dry cleaning of such blankets at home is not carried out. In order to achieve complete removal of the reagents from the filler after the treatment, special devices are needed. Therefore, in the case of the impossibility of using a washing machine, it is better to immediately turn to a dry cleaner, where everything will be done quickly and efficiently.

If, in time, an unpleasant odor has begun to emanate from the synthepon blanket, which does not disappear even after washing with an air conditioner, this may indicate the accumulation of chemicals between the fibers. To remove in this case a cover to thoroughly work out all areas manually is too problematic, and not always effective. Synteponovye products are quite inexpensive, so it's better not to put experiments and just replace the subject of everyday life.
