How To Take Care Of A Minky Blanket Without Making It Lose

By Jose Fisher


Blankets are types of bedding which are made from a large sized woven cloth. These are being used to make people feel warm, most especially when lying down or sleeping. It will trap the heat from the body of the person, thus, providing heat and warming the body. It can also protect a person from cold due to convection.

Traditionally, most blankets were made out of wool since this is warm, while the bed sheets are made out from linen, cotton, or silk. These materials for the sheets reduce skin irritations. The most common materials today are synthetic fibers for both blankets and sheets. Other purposes of these are for picnics or as an object for comforting small children which is called the minky blanket.

A minky is a fabric type usually used for producing baby accessories, blankets, and clothing. This is more likely the same as fleece, but it is thicker and softer. A fabric of high quality helps for the prevention of color fading and it also help in decreasing the warm.

Before minky fabrics are used for creating baby blankets, these are used first in creating small stuffed animals, pillows, diaper covers, baby clothes, booties, bibs, burp clothes, and changing pad covers. From the babies comfort, it goes up for teenagers or adults comfort. The term for this is minky couture. A minky couture gives luxurious fabrics to all types of ages.

Another use of this aside from warming is to provide ideas to other people about some kind of decorations. Since these are made in many styles, designs, and patterns, these may give an elegant appearance to the bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. These are utilized also for covering couches, piano, chairs, and dressers.

Minkys are being made special and durable so that it can be washed using a washing machine. Even when it is being washed for a lot of times already, still it remains soft just like the first you held it. Surely, everyone does not want to use a blanket which is already lose after just one wash. Most people are afraid to wash any types of thin or soft clothes or materials for the reason that it might be torn after cleaning it for once.

Surely, the children, especially the toddlers love to play with it, dragging it all over and wrapping it around them. So to not make it lose and to maintain its softness, follow these steps when washing. First, separate the blanket from any other type of clothing. You must wash it alone or maybe, together with any blanket which has the same type of cloth as this. Use a laundry detergent and fabric softener when washing. Remember not to use bleach on these.

Second, if there are stains, you remove it through the mixture of baby powder and cornstarch and placing it to the stain overnight before washing it. A dishwashing liquid may be used as well. These methods work when you use cold water for rinsing.

It is better to hang it dry outside when the weather is hot. But you may just use a dryer, just make sure that you set it to low heat. There may be pillings on it and those are not avoided, so remove it using disposable razors or sweater shavers. Use in light pressure so you will not cut the fabric.
