How to care for white microfiber quilted quilt?
1. Cleaning method
White microfiber quilted quilts are usually made of fine fiber fabrics, so special care should be taken when washing to avoid damaging the fiber structure or causing it to turn yellow.
a. Hand washing vs. machine washing
Machine washing: Most white microfiber quilted quilts can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use the gentle mode or low speed mode for washing. Using a laundry bag can reduce friction and protect the quilt from being pulled or deformed.
Hand washing: If it is a particularly fine quilted quilt, hand washing may be a safer option. Use warm water and a mild detergent to gently rub, and avoid strong scrubbing to avoid damaging the fibers. You can use a soft brush to clean difficult stains, but avoid over-brushing.
b. Use warm water
When washing white microfiber quilted quilt, avoid using too hot water, as too hot water can easily cause the fabric to deform or fade. The optimal water temperature range is usually 30°C to 40°C.
c. Choose a mild detergent
To maintain the softness of the quilt and extend its life, it is recommended to use a mild, bleach-free detergent. Bleach may damage microfibers and ruin their color, especially white quilts, which are prone to yellowing.
d. Remove stains
For stubborn stains, you can use a special stain remover, or apply a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid to the stain, rub gently, and then wash normally. White microfiber quilts should not be treated with stain removal products containing strong bleaching ingredients.
2. Drying method
The correct drying method is very important to maintain the appearance and comfort of white microfiber quilted quilts.
a. Natural drying
The best drying method is to lay the quilt flat and dry it in a cool and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays will make the fibers brittle and fade the color. Long-term exposure to the sun may also cause damage to the filling of the quilt, affecting the warmth effect.
b. Use a dryer
If conditions permit, use a dryer at low temperature (or "low heat" mode). When drying, place a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls in the dryer to help the quilt maintain its fluffy feel and prevent fibers from clumping together and causing local accumulation.
c. Avoid hanging in the sun
Do not hang the microfiber quilt directly in the sun. This will not only accelerate the yellowing of the quilt, but also easily cause the filling to lose elasticity and affect the insulation effect.
3. Storage method
Proper storage is the key to maintaining white microfiber quilts. It can effectively prevent the quilt from being affected by moisture, pests, stains, etc. and keep it in good condition.
a. Storage after cleaning
Before storing, make sure the quilt has been thoroughly cleaned and completely dried. Moisture and dirt may cause mildew or bacterial growth, affecting the hygiene and comfort of the quilt.
b. Storage location
Choose a dry, cool, well-ventilated place to store white microfiber quilts. Avoid placing the quilt in a humid or high temperature environment, such as a bathroom or basement, as these environments can easily cause mold or odor.
c. Use a storage bag
Putting the quilt in a special storage bag can prevent dust and impurities in the air from contaminating the quilt. A storage bag with good breathability is the best choice to avoid moisture on the quilt due to too strong sealing. The date can be marked on the storage bag for timely cleaning and replacement.
4. Daily care
In addition to regular cleaning and storage, white microfiber quilts also require special care in daily use.
a. Pat regularly
Patting the quilt regularly can maintain its fluffy feeling and prevent the filling from clumping. Be gentle when patting to avoid damaging the fiber structure. You can use a special quilt beater or pat it gently by hand.
b. Prevent pollution
Since white microfiber quilts are easy to show stains, try to avoid contact with items that may cause stains when using them. For example, avoid using the quilt while eating to prevent contamination by oil stains or food residues.
c. Regular ventilation
After using the white microfiber quilt for a period of time, you can put it in a ventilated place to dry and let the air circulate naturally. Ventilation helps remove moisture and prevent the accumulation of odors.
d. Use a protective cover
To extend the service life, you can consider equipping the white microfiber quilt with a special protective cover, especially if there are pets or children in the house. The protective cover can effectively prevent dust, hair and other pollutants from directly contacting the surface of the quilt.
5. Precautions
Avoid using detergents containing bleach, strong acidic or alkaline detergents.
Do not rub excessively when washing to avoid damaging the microfiber.
If you find small cracks or damage, repair them in time to prevent further expansion.
Check the filling status of the quilt regularly to ensure that there is no caking or deformation.
