As a common heating device, electric blankets bring warmth and comfort to people. However, it can also turn into a callous "killer" if used incorrectly or neglected to maintain. In the two accidents mentioned at the beginning of this article, inappropriate use and lack of safety awareness both laid the groundwork for fires.

In addition, after long-term use or improper maintenance, electric blankets may also have problems such as aging lines and short circuits, which can cause fires.

First of all, when buying electric blankets, we should pay attention to choosing regular brands and channels to ensure that the quality of products is reliable.

Secondly, pay attention to safety when using electric blankets. Read the instructions carefully before use to understand the correct usage methods and precautions. Avoid leaving it on for long periods of time, avoid placing too many items on the electric blanket, and avoid eating or drinking on the electric blanket. In addition, it is necessary to regularly check whether the electric blanket is damaged or unevenly heated, and deal with the problem in time.
In addition, if the electric blanket is not in use, it should be stored in a dry place to avoid moisture and mildew. At the same time, regular cleaning of the electric blanket cloth can also maintain hygiene and avoid the growth of bacteria.
In addition to the above measures, there are a number of other precautions we can take. For example, you can turn on the electric blanket in advance before going to bed, and turn off the power after the bed is warmed up to avoid potential safety hazards caused by long-term opening. In addition, some new types of smart electric blankets also have functions such as timed shutdown and temperature adjustment, which can improve the safety and comfort of use.
