Proper storage of blankets is an important step to prevent deformation and mold. If blankets are not stored properly, it can be difficult to clean them when you want to use them. Let me tell you how to store blankets correctly.
Choose the right storage bag
The packaging bag that comes with the blankets is the ideal storage bag. If you don't have the original packaging bag, try to use a breathable cotton or linen bag to prevent dust. Non-breathable bags can make the blankets prone to mold.
Clean and air dry before storage
Choose the appropriate cleaning method based on the material of the blankets. If the blankets cannot be washed, make sure to air dry them on a sunny afternoon for 3-4 hours. After bringing the blankets indoors, wait for the moisture to evaporate before storing them to avoid condensation.
How to fold
After cleaning, shake the blankets to loosen them. Fold them into long strips by folding from one longer side. Fold the ends towards the middle, leaving a gap in the center. Then fold the blankets in half and place them in the storage bag.
How to keep them dry
It's important to keep the blankets dry, but do not put moisture absorbers, dehumidifiers, or mothballs directly into the bag. Place them in the storage cabinet instead.
Where to store
Store the blankets above the wardrobe, avoiding placing heavy items on top of them to maintain their elasticity and insulation.
