If a few years ago, pillows were traditionally packed with fluff, then today there were new types of fillers: bamboo, chlorofiber, antistress. In this case, not every product can be found instructions how to wash the pillows of innovative material. For this reason, some landladies are forced to throw out a relatively new thing after the first treatment in the washing machine. In order to avoid such an outcome, it is necessary to correctly assess the features of the everyday life, to choose the optimal variant of the impact and to implement it strictly according to the instructions.
Which pillows can be washed in a washing machine and how to do it correctly?
According to experts, any pillows can be washed in a washing machine, and this approach is the easiest. Depending on the type of filler, you need to remember a number of nuances:
- Pooh. The water temperature should not exceed 40 ° C.Manipulation is only possible if the machine has a manual washing or processing mode for swanfish. Spin is acceptable, but with a minimum number of revolutions( no more than 400).It is better if the rinse is double. Before you wash the pillow from the fluff, it must be placed in a special bag. Then the recommended parameters are set and the cleaning process is carried out. Then napernik rasporyvayut, fluff dried and sewed in a new fabric.
- Synthepone and chlorofiber. The difference between the approaches is only in the temperature of the impact. For the synthepon, it should not exceed 40 ° C, for chlorofiber it can be raised to 70 ° C.Spin on the washing machine is better to disconnect, if the filler gets stuck in a com, it will be difficult to straighten it. To clean these pillows are ideal liquid liquid detergent, they will not leave on the products of divorce and do not settle in the structure of the filler. It is desirable to put a few tennis balls in the drum, they will not let the pillow lose its shape. After processing, the object is squeezed out by hand, but do not twist it, send it to the dryer.
Tip: Regardless of the type of filler, it is highly discouraged to use bleach. Even the most soft and sparing products can adversely affect the structure of the fibers, which very soon leads to damage to the product.
- Bamboo. The most unpretentious material that steadfastly tolerates all modes and temperatures. Usually on the label with the instruction it is indicated, under what conditions it can be washed. If there is no such information, then we adhere to the same parameters as in the case of natural down filling.
The treatment of the cushions in the washing machine should be carried out not only with the contamination of the filler, but also for preventive purposes. Experts recommend that household items be thoroughly processed at least once every 3-4 months, and once in 3-4 years they need to be changed.
Special features of hand-washing cushions depending on the
material If the use of a household appliance is impossible for some reason, it will be necessary to carry out manual cleaning. This is quite troublesome, and a positive result is possible only if the following rules are observed:
- Pooh. In the basin pour water, the temperature of which should not be more than 50 ° C, we plant in it a little liquid powder or soap. Vparivayem napernik and put fluff in the water. You do not need to build it, it's better to use several containers. After two hours on the same principle, we prepare a new solution, soak the rest of the fluff in it and begin to gently wash it with your hands, using shuffling movements. Clean down lumps are washed twice under running water and the composition can be sent for drying.
- Bamboo, sintepon, chlorofiber. The procedure uses water with a temperature of up to 70 ° C.Unlike the treatment in a washing machine, in the open air the liquid will quickly cool down and will not have time to harm the material. Dissolve liquid detergent in water and soak the product. When the water temperature drops to a tolerable one, you can melt the pillow with your fists, turning it over and over. Then we cover the thing with clean water several times. Squeeze the object and send it dry.
It is necessary not only to know how to properly wash the pillow, but also how to dry the product after cleaning:
- When working with fluff, you must constantly break up the lumps, otherwise the stuck together formations will quickly spoil the new napernik, and in the course of using many unpleasant minutes will be delivered. It is best to lay out the filler on a paper substrate as thin as possible, place it on a sunlit window sill and shake the lumps regularly.
- Bamboo and chlorofiber almost do not get off, so it's the easiest thing with them. After treatment by hand or in a washing machine, we soak the object, wrapping it in a warm towel and simply laying it on a horizontal dryer. It is best to dry the balcony or well ventilated room. From time to time we turn the product over and lightly mend our hands.
- We do the same with the synthepone as in the previous case, but in addition we also go through the surface of the object with a vacuum cleaner. Such an effect will help filler evenly distributed. In extreme cases, you have to get the material and restore it manually.
Regardless of the type of filler, the cushions will become soiled more slowly, if you wrap them in a cotton pillowcase, you can even two.
How to properly wash anti-stress pillows?
Pillows, like toys filled with antisress, require a special approach. Specificity of cleaning depends on the origin of the "filling".Today, increasingly, people prefer anti-stress cushions based on organic components( buckwheat, berry seeds, flax seeds).Such items are not erased, they are simply replaced.
Everything is much simpler if polystyrene balls are used as packing. We take a pillow antistress, we unpair a pillowcase and we erase it separately by a traditional way. We do not touch the balls themselves, if they do not get dirty. If the problem is in the filling, then my small parts in a basin of water and liquid powder. It is important to remember that balls for antistress-type products are very sticky and can get pretty nerve-wracked. In extreme cases, the entire item is allowed to be washed, without removing the pillowcase. But in this case, the thing needs to be additionally placed in a bag, so that in the event of a tissue breakout, small parts do not block all the openings of the apparatus.
