Tips & Tricks: The blanket can be kept fresh and clean without washing with baking soda, phenyl tablets, essential oil and fabric freshener. Apart from this, it also becomes clean by drying it in the sun.
Delhi: As soon as winter starts, thick blankets come out, but within a few days, dust, smell and dirt start accumulating on them. In such a situation, washing heavy blankets every time seems no less than a task. The blankets don’t even fit in the washing machine. It is difficult to wash by hand, and getting it dry cleaned every time becomes expensive. If you are also troubled by this problem, then stop worrying now. With the help of some easy home tricks, you can make your blanket completely fresh and clean without washing it. Let us know how you too can do it without spending any money and with your hard work, the thick dusty blankets will be cleaned.
magic of baking soda
Baking soda is very effective not only in food but also in removing odor and dust from blankets. For this, sprinkle half a cup of baking soda on the blanket and leave it for 20 minutes. Then sweep with a clean brush or vacuum cleaner. The blanket will look absolutely fresh and clean.
dry in the sun
Sometimes it is better to keep the blanket in the sun than washing it. Spread the blanket in sunlight for 2–3 hours once a week. This removes both moisture and odor, and brings natural freshness to the blanket. When the blanket is exposed to sunlight, its smell and moisture go away. Once it gets exposed to sunlight, you can clean it by dusting it with a stick.
Phenyl pills and essential oil
Scented things help a lot in removing bad odor. Therefore, if you want, you can spray phenyl pills or essential oil in your blanket. If you keep a phenyl tablet tied in a cloth, there will be no smell at all in the quilt or blanket.
Increase fragrance with fabric freshener
If the blanket is clean, but there is a slight odor left in it, then use fabric freshener. If you sprinkle a spray available in the market or made at home by mixing rose water, a little vinegar and water, your blanket will look brand new again, but if you are buying a fabric freshener from the market, then it is also not very expensive. You will get it easily.
