Woolen Clothes Dry Cleaning
The cold season has started and for the next few days, only the work of taking out warm clothes, cleaning them and setting them on the shelves will be done. Woolen clothes develop a smell if they are kept packed in a bed box or any other bag for several months continuously. If there is moisture in the house, sometimes mild fungus also occurs. Even if you have got the quilt and mattress dry cleaned, you do not feel like covering it directly. So let us tell you the tricks to make clothes bacteria free and smell free before using them in winter. You can dry clean clothes at home without any expense.
How to remove smell from woolen clothes?
First of all, do not clean and set all the woolen clothes and quilts and blankets at one time. This increases clutter and tension in the house. Therefore, first of all, take out the clothes of each member of the house one day and clean them in the manner mentioned below.
Easy way to dry clean woolen clothes at home
Step 1: The first method is to expose all the clothes including woolen sweaters and jackets to sunlight. After drying them in the hot sun for at least a day, press them with a light cotton cloth. If you have a steam press, you can also steam press. If you want, you can lightly spray the perfume of your choice on the clothes before pressing. This will keep the fragrance in them and the smell coming from the kept clothes will also disappear.
Second step- If there is slight fungus on any woolen cloth, then add woolen cloth washing liquid in cold water and let it soak for some time. After this, wash clothes with cold and clean water 2-3 times. Do not dry woolen clothes directly, first let the water drain out and then spread it. Washing and drying woolen clothes directly sometimes causes the clothes to become loose. After drying thoroughly, press the clothes lightly.
Easy way to dry clean quilts and blankets at home
Now let’s talk about thick quilts or blankets. There is no need to wash a cotton quilt, just wash its covers like other woolen clothes. Yes, do show the quilt good sunlight. After this, if you want, you can spread a light sheet on top and press lightly on the quilt. With this heat the dirt in the upper layer gets cleaned.
If there is a light blanket and fungus has grown on it or you want to wash it before using it, then first clean the fungus on it with a dry cloth. Prepare a solution of very cold water and wool detergent in a large tub. Leave the blanket or quilt cover soaked in it for about half an hour. Then rub the cloth gently and wash it in cold water only. Later, let it dry for some time in the bathroom or where the cloth was washed. When the water completely drains from the woolen clothes, then dry them in the sun. After this, spread the blanket on the bed and spread a light cotton sheet over it and press it lightly. Spray a little of your favorite perfume for fragrance and dry cleaning of your woolen clothes at home is done.
