Bulky warm blankets, which are usually used in winter, are very difficult to care for. At the same time, it is difficult not only to wash, but also to dry the blanket in the dryer. In addition, housewives often ask whether such a product can be dried automatically. Let us examine this opportunity in detail, kindly provided by the manufacturers of modern drying machines.
Description of the drying process
Regardless of the quality and size of the blanket, it should be handled very carefully in household appliances. First of all, you need to carefully study the label, which will contain information about the permissibility or impossibility of drying in a dryer. If the manufacturer does not recommend treatment in a dryer, then further manipulations should be performed at your own peril and risk.
Do not rush to load the product into the drum, as you will first need to make sure that the weight of the blanket does not exceed the maximum weight of the dryer. You should also not try to dry a wet blanket that has just been removed from the washing machine. It would be safer to first spin it once at low speeds in the washing machine and only then transfer it from one drum to another.
Only after this can you proceed directly to drying the blanket. Place the bulky item in the dryer so that it is distributed as freely as possible in the drum. Under no circumstances roll it up into one big lump, as this will negatively affect the duration and quality of drying.
Next, you need to choose a working cycle that suits the fabric and filling of the blanket.Most often you need to choose a mode for synthetic products with low or medium temperature. When the machine is finished, remove the item from the drum, straighten it and shake it several times. If the blanket remains wet after the first cycle, it is permissible to dry it in the dryer again, but this time on a delicate cycle with a low temperature.
Do not choose the highest temperature settings, as rushing may not speed up drying, but may damage the blanket.
When the product is dry, gently shake it, straighten it and leave it in this position for a couple of hours. It is best to place the item in a well-ventilated room, or in the fresh air, if possible and the weather is warm outside.
Recommendations from experts
Drying a blanket is not considered the most difficult process, but even it has its own characteristics that cannot be ignored. We have collected the most important recommendations from experts that will help you dry clothes in the dryer effectively and safely.
Never overload, so do not dry blankets with other items of clothing.
Do not collect things in a lump, but carefully straighten them in the drum.
The largest blankets and throws usually need several drying cycles, as they are likely to remain wet after one cycle.
You should not leave things lying in the dryer drum after finishing work, as in this position they may begin to rot and smell unpleasant.
The list is not only not very long, but also not very complicated, so nothing should prevent you from properly drying a blanket or any other item.
Add scented beads
Additionally, it is worth considering useful household chemicals designed specifically for dryers. Scented balls from the PVHOME brand and others were created to prevent things in the machine from acquiring unpleasant odors. You just need to put the product in the drum before starting drying in order to avoid unpleasant consequences.
The balls significantly improve the drying quality of products made from natural sheep wool. They can replace fabric softener, because they help shorten the operating cycle, things with them become much softer, there are fewer wrinkles on them, and the balls can also be used for drying children's clothes. Simply place all 6 balls into the drum and start the cycle. They will not have to be changed soon - the resource will be enough for 1000 dryers, or for 4 years of operation.
In addition, these balls are often used as a flavoring agent. In order for them to start giving things a pleasant aroma, you need to drop essential oil on them, leave them to dry overnight, and then start using them as usual.
