No need for a washing machine: how to clean and refresh a blanket after winter

Usually, people cannot sleep without a blanket even in summer, as it is an important attribute for a comfortable night's rest. However, over time, like any fabric, it accumulates dust and dirt.

While bed linen can be easily washed in the washing machine and enjoy cleanliness, a blanket is not so easy. That's why Express has shared a life hack that will help you clean it easily and quickly.

Although washing a blanket in the washing machine seems to be the easiest way to clean it, it is not always possible. Some blankets are too big or delicate to machine wash. As a result, many people simply forget to clean them and use the same blanket for years.

However, you should clean your blanket at least once a year. Because over time, dust, sweat, sebum, and various bacteria inevitably accumulate in it. Fortunately, there is one effective method to clean a duvet without a washing machine.

Sunlight

Sunlight is a fantastic natural deodorizer that can help kill bacteria and eliminate odors. It can even restore the texture of the blanket and make it looser and more resilient.

Simply wait for a sunny day, hang the blanket on a string, and leave it outdoors. The longer the blanket is in the sun, the better.

You can also ventilate the bedding to make it fresh.
