In modern home life, blankets made of polyester are not only favored for their elegant appearance, but also become an important element of home decoration for their excellent durability. However, in daily use, these blankets will inevitably encounter various special stains, including oil stains, blood stains, and ink stains. If these stains are not handled promptly and properly, they will not only affect the beauty of the blanket, but may also have a negative impact on its fiber structure and service life.
Oil stain treatment
Oil stains are common contaminants on polyester blankets. The key to their treatment is to respond quickly and choose the right detergent. For new oil stains, it is recommended to immediately use oil-absorbing paper or a clean cloth to gently press to absorb excess oil. Next, apply an appropriate amount of dishwashing liquid or neutral detergent to the stain, and gently scrub with a soft brush or toothbrush, taking care to avoid excessive pulling on the fibers. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water and absorb excess water with a clean cloth. For stubborn oil stains, you can use diluted bleach (1:10 ratio) for local treatment, but be careful to control the concentration and contact time of the bleach to avoid damaging the fiber or causing color fading.
Blood stain treatment
Blood stains are also common special stains on polyester blankets, and they need to be treated quickly and gently. Fresh blood stains should be rinsed immediately with cold water, and hot water should never be used, because hot water will cause the protein in the blood to coagulate, making the stain more difficult to remove. After rinsing, apply an appropriate amount of neutral detergent to the stain and gently scrub it with a soft brush. If the stain is still stubborn, you can try to use a detergent containing enzyme ingredients for pretreatment. Enzyme ingredients can effectively break down the protein in the blood and promote the removal of stains. After treatment, be sure to rinse thoroughly with clean water and avoid over-wringing to protect the integrity of the fiber.
Ink stain treatment
Ink stains are relatively stubborn stains and require extra care when handling. For fresh ink stains, rinse immediately with cold water to prevent the ink from spreading. Apply an appropriate amount of alcohol or white vinegar to the stain. These solvents can effectively dissolve the pigment in the ink, making it easier to remove. If the stain is still stubborn, you can use a detergent containing an oxidant for local treatment, but be careful about the concentration and time of use to prevent damage to the fiber. After treatment, it is also necessary to rinse with clean water and absorb excess water with a clean cloth.
Other special stain treatments
In addition to the common stains mentioned above, polyester blankets may also face other types of special stains such as coffee stains, juice stains, lipstick stains, etc. The principles for dealing with these stains are similar to the above: act quickly, use mild detergents, and avoid excessive pulling on the fibers. Different detergents can be used for pretreatment of different types of stains. For example, coffee stains can be treated with white vinegar or lemon juice, juice stains can be treated with alcohol or detergent, and lipstick stains can be treated with makeup remover oil or makeup remover water. After treatment, make sure to rinse thoroughly with clean water and absorb excess water with a clean cloth to ensure the beauty and durability of the polyester blanket.
