Maintenance methods of flannel blanket

Flannel blankets are popular for their delicate fiber structure and excellent soft touch. These unique characteristics require special attention during use and maintenance. A deep understanding of the material of flannel blankets is the basis for ensuring their service life. Flannel is usually made of wool, cotton or synthetic fibers (such as polyester fibers), and various materials have different maintenance requirements. Due to its natural properties, wool flannel blankets need to avoid high temperatures and strong friction to prevent fiber damage; while synthetic fiber flannel blankets are relatively durable, but they also need to be treated with caution to avoid fading and shrinking due to excessive cleaning.

Daily cleaning is the key to maintaining the good condition of flannel blankets. For minor stains, it is recommended to wipe gently with a clean damp cloth. Do not use detergents containing bleach or strong alkalinity to avoid damaging the fiber structure. If you encounter stubborn stains, it is recommended to use a professional flannel cleaner and strictly follow the product instructions for local treatment. It is worth noting that frequent machine washing is not the best choice. Excessive washing may cause fluff to fall off and color to fade. Therefore, it is recommended to arrange the cleaning cycle reasonably according to the degree of stains and frequency of use. It is usually appropriate to clean it once a quarter. During machine washing, a mild washing program should be selected, neutral detergent should be used, and high-temperature washing and drying should be avoided to prevent damage to the fluff structure and shrinkage. After washing, gently pat the blanket surface to restore the fluff to a fluffy state, and then dry it naturally and avoid direct sunlight.

Storage and protection are also crucial. When the flannel blanket is not in use, it should be neatly folded and stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture and mildew. In order to keep the blanket surface clean and prevent dust accumulation, it is recommended to use a dustproof bag or a transparent plastic storage bag for packaging. In addition, direct contact with sharp objects or heavy objects should be avoided to prevent scratches or compression deformation. For long-term storage of flannel blankets, it is recommended to take them out and air them regularly to keep them dry and fluffy, thereby extending their service life.
