How to dry quilts in winter? The best time to dry quilts
1. The drying time is too long and the number of times is too frequent. The sunshine time in winter is short because it will give people a rare feeling of sunshine. All, when I get up on the weekends, I like to put the quilt on the balcony early in the morning and not put it away until the sunset in the evening. In fact, the best sunshine time is from 11 noon to 2 pm. Usually, the cotton fibers will expand to a certain extent after three or four hours in the sun. It has achieved good drying results. If the drying time is too long and the number of times is too many, it will shorten the cotton fiber and cause it to fall off. The warmth of the quilt will be greatly reduced. Especially down and wool quilts, because their ingredients contain oil. After exposure to the sun, these chemicals will change and produce odors. After exposure to the silk, it will destroy the protein components in the material, resulting in the consequence of discoloration and cracking. They only need to be left in a ventilated and dry place for one to two hours.
2. There is no distinction between inside and outside the quilt. Generally speaking, the best way to dry is to shine inside the quilt. First, protect the material on the quilt, and second, directly sunlight inside the quilt can achieve a better drying effect.
If you consider that there is too much dust, you can add a layer of cotton to the quilt to protect the quilt, especially the quilt of chemical fiber fabrics will not be damaged by high temperature.
3. After drying, slap hard
The traditional concept believes that quilts placed outdoors for a long time must be clean and pine. But do you know? The fibers of cotton are thick and short, and are very easy to break. If you slapped hard with a stick, the fibers will break into dusty cotton dust. The quilt made of synthetic fibers is thin and long and easy to deform. Once beaten, the fiber shrinking plates cannot be restored if they are formed into pieces. The down quilt should not be beaten, otherwise the down will break into small feather dust and fly out. The warmth effect will be affected. For hygiene reasons, just use a broom to sweep away the dust on the quilt.
