Quilts, we will often dry it.
Many friends have formed a habit of putting the quilt outside to dry on a regular basis.
If the quilt is not dry, it may have a smell and even breed bacteria after a long time. Drying quilts can sterilize them, and quilts are more comfortable.
However, many people don't know the proper way to dry quilts.
For drying quilts, it turns out that there are a lot of particularities, an excellent way to dry quilts, you will never think of it.
What are the problems with quilts that don't dry all year round?
Maybe many of us know about drying quilts, but we don't know the specific reason.
We may feel that the quilt is damp, or smelly, so we go to dry the quilt.
In fact, there are still many problems for those who do not dry quilts all year round.
If the quilt is not dried all year round, there will be a serious smell.
Because if the human body sweats at night, it may be covered by the quilt, and then it may be absorbed by the quilt.
After a long time, you will find that the quilt becomes damp and there is a smell.
Therefore, if the quilt is not dried for a while, you can smell a very bad smell, which is very uncomfortable.
Since the human body sheds dander every day, about one gram of dandruff.
If we don't pay attention to hygiene, don't bathe often, and don't wash our hair, then the dander oil may fall on the quilt during sleeping.
In addition, the quilt is sweaty, and over time, bacteria will grow on the quilt.
In fact, many friends may have experienced this, that is, if you cover a damp quilt, you will feel itchy on your body.
The quilt is not dried all year round, and you will find that the quilt not only smells bad but also becomes hard.
In such a quilt, there are a lot of mites and a lot of bacteria. Combined with the falling dander, the mites grow more.
Over time, it can cause allergies. For example, itchy skin, even sneezing, rhinitis, asthma and a series of other diseases.
What are the benefits of drying a quilt regularly?
So what are the benefits of drying quilts? Just drying in the sun can solve the above problem.
In fact, there are indeed many benefits of tanning quilts.
(1) - Eliminate odor, fluffy and comfortable
After exposing the quilt to the sun, you will find that it will leave a unique fragrance of the sun.
The quilt itself smells bad, and the pungent smell disappears.
In addition, because the quilt is covered all year round, there will be fiber knots, and then the quilt will become hard, and the more it is covered, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
And after drying in the sun, you will find that the quilt becomes very fluffy and feels very comfortable.
(2) - Eliminate mites
Drying a quilt in the sun can indeed get rid of mites. Because in a hot and dry environment, mites will be killed.
Coupled with the sun's ultraviolet rays, the sterilization rate reaches 99.9%.
Because under sun exposure, the temperature on the back of the quilt can reach 50 °C, and the back can reach more than 43 °C.
More than 80% of the body of mites is water, the suitable temperature is 25 °C, and the humidity is 65%~80%. When exposed to the sun, these mites will become dehydrated and die.
(3) - sterilization
Drying quilts can sterilize, for this, I believe many friends can understand.
Because there are ultraviolet rays in the sun.
Ultraviolet rays have a good bactericidal effect and can eliminate bacteria and microorganisms on the quilt.
What is the method of drying a quilt?
In fact, there are corresponding skills for drying quilts. It's not just throwing it outside, just leave it alone.
The method of drying quilts recommended by me is to master the weather, time, and drying method. In this way, the best drying effect of the quilt is achieved.
To dry the quilt, try to choose a weather with a particularly good sun to dry.
In fact, it is enough to take advantage of the sunny day and dry it in the sun.
At this time, it is important to note that you should try not to dry your quilt outside on cloudy days or in humid seasons when there is no wind.
Drying quilts is not always better, nor is it better to dry quilts as soon as possible.
For drying quilts, the recommended time for everyone is from 11 noon to 3 pm, which is about three hours.
Don't show up, leave the quilt outside in the morning and take it back in the evening, in fact, this is actually the wrong approach.
Because for quilts, if they are exposed to the sun for a long time, it may lead to the breakage of the internal fibers. After a long time, you will find that the quilt is not warm and uncomfortable.
Another point is that in the morning and evening, the water vapor in the air increases, and then it may be absorbed by the quilt.
Therefore, when we collect and dry the quilt at night, we will find that the quilt is still damp, and it feels the same as not drying it, and the effect is obviously reduced.
When drying quilts, many friends may be used to it and slap hard.
In fact, the purpose of our slapping is to pat off some dust on the quilt, as well as mites and so on.
In addition, it is the slapping that may make the quilt fluffy.
However, the slapping is for old-fashioned quilts.
At present, most quilts cannot be slapped too hard. Otherwise, it may cause fiber breakage, clumping, and so on.
The correct way is to gently pat or shake a few times when drying the quilt or when collecting the quilt. Make sure the surface is free of dust.
Drying a quilt is better on both sides than on one side.
In fact, many people hang the quilt outside to dry the quilt and take it back in the afternoon.
In fact, this is a side of exposure. At this time, the moisture and mites in the quilt may run to the other side, and the effect will be significantly reduced.
Therefore, the correct way is to dry the quilt on both sides repeatedly. If possible, turn the dough once an hour.
Drying the quilt on the front and back can ensure that the quilt is thoroughly dried, and can effectively sterilize and remove mites.
When drying quilts, everyone should also pay attention to one point, that is, dustproof. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to avoid being polluted.
Quilts, which we cover our bodies every day, may have an impact on our skin and breathing if they are contaminated.
Therefore, when drying the quilt, if you can add a thin layer of old sheets to the quilt, it will play a good role.
Because the old sheet covered with a thin layer can prevent the quilt fabric from fading, and it can also filter dust, pollen, etc. in the air.
After the quilt is dried, we remove the thin sheets and shake the quilt gently, and the quilt will be very clean and tidy.
After drying the quilt, don't rush to get home, just stuff it together.
To put it bluntly, the quilt that has been dried cannot be folded immediately, or nested up, or stuffed into the wardrobe.
Because the quilt is still hot after drying, it is not completely emitted.
If the heat is covered in the quilt, after a long time, you will find that the quilt still has a bad smell.
The correct way is to put the quilt indoors, let it sit for a while, and then fold it away.
If it is a quilt that is covered every day, after drying, you can put it directly on the bed without folding it.
Finally, after drying the unused quilt and waiting for it to cool down completely, you should fold it and store it in the cabinet.
Drying quilts, there is another point, pay attention to the drying method of quilts of different materials.
The material of quilts is more and more, like the traditional cotton quilt and fiber quilt.
At present, there are more varieties, such as silk quilts, wool quilts, duvets and so on.
For these quilts, you can refer to the following drying suggestions:
(1) Traditional cotton quilts, it is recommended to dry them once a week, and they can be dried twice if conditions permit. Because cotton is particularly susceptible to moisture absorption. Therefore, the frequency of drying should be greater.
(2) Fiber quilt, it is recommended to dry it once every two months or so. Because of the chemical fiber quilt, the water absorption and moisture return are slow. Therefore, the frequency of drying can be longer.
(3) Wool quilt, it is recommended to dry it once every half a month or so. The effect of wool moisture absorption and moisture removal is relatively good, but it is easy to breed a kind of black beetle insects, which needs to be dried regularly.
(4) For duvets, it is recommended to dry them once a month, but they should not be exposed. Down is not dried for a long time, it is easy to knot together, and it is not warm. When drying, try to dry in a cool and ventilated place.
(5) Silk quilt, it is recommended to dry it once every half a month or so, but it cannot be exposed. Silk quilt, moisture absorption and moisture removal effect is good, you can dry in the sun is not too strong.
An excellent way to dry your quilt that you would never think of
The quilt should be dried frequently, but there may be times when there is no place or no sunlight at home.
So, let's share with you an excellent way to dry quilts.
We put the quilt in a black plastic bag, sealed the mouth of the bag, and then found an open space and put it under the sun.
