How to wash a blanket of camel wool?

The most difficult thing is to choose the right detergent, because the final result will depend on it. Ordinary washing powder here will not work, because:

• it wipes the quilt cover itself, but the wool structure probably will damage;
• it is very difficult to rinse out.

In order not to create problems for yourself, buy a tool for washing woolen products in the hardware store, only when buying, pay attention that it contains lanolin extract. This natural enzyme envelops woolen fibers and maintains their condition.

Blanket from camel wool can be washed in a washing machine, but hand washing is still preferable, because not every machine will withstand such loads. The fact is that the wool has a hollow structure, because of which it absorbs too much water. There are two solutions: either wash with hands, or cut the blanket into parts, and then sew it back.

Important! Before washing, be sure to look at the label, as a rule, there manufacturers indicate recommendations regarding the washing of this product. This can significantly alleviate the whole process.

Washing in the washing machine

Despite the fact that most manufacturers forbid washing their products in washing machines, experienced housewives claim that this procedure can still be performed, but following some rules:

• Use only the profile mode of the washing machine- "Wool".Even hand and delicate washing can spoil the look of the product. The water temperature should not exceed 30 degrees.
• The detergent is taken in a small amount - it is best to take a liquid powder with enzymes.
• It is advisable to turn off the spinning altogether, otherwise your blanket can turn into a shapeless rag.
• Softeners and air conditioners, bleaches and color fixers are all strictly forbidden. If an unpleasant smell emanates from the product, it is better to ventilate it well or, in extreme cases, to soak in a weak solution of vinegar. Rinse in the washing machine can be carried out no more than once. If you think that the material remains traces of detergent, it is better to rinse it in the bath by hand.

Important! The main disadvantage of using a washing machine is that it will only wash a small blanket, for example, a baby blanket. A large object simply can not fit into the drum or stop it after getting wet. Sometimes it's better not to take risks and carry out all the manipulations manually.

If during the processing the form of the blanket has changed, then it is almost impossible to restore it.

Important! In no case can you wash products from camel wool in hot water in order for it to sit. This approach will only further damage the blanket and reduce the level of its functionality.
