How to wash a pillow made of bamboo in a washing machine

Everyone had to do the cleaning of the apartment. Washing - one of the important arrangements for restoring order. We wash things every day. And those who have small children, and all - two or three times a day. Wash clothes, bed linen and many other things. A large variety of textiles has created the need for the production of various detergents. Not every powder is suitable for every type of fabric. Particular attention should be paid to bedding. They are whimsical to the washing environment. Bamboo pillows - a new trend. About them, or rather care about them, we will talk in our article.

A rather large popularity is gained by natural filler for pillows and warm blankets with bamboo fibers.

Advantages of bamboo material

First, let's highlight the main advantages of bamboo fiber. Should I buy this product? Do you need problems when caring for him?

Bamboo linen pillows are very different from the usual feather and down.

But what advantages are inherent not only in pillows, but in all products made of bamboo.

  • hypoallergenic;
  • durability;
  • elasticity;
  • naturalness;
  • nice smell;
  • breathable (porous) structure;
  • safety for the body;
  • universality of use;
  • hygroscopicity (moisture is absorbed).

They are softer and more elastic, provide a comfortable rest and perfectly relieve fatigue.

It is pleasant to relax under a bamboo blanket on both hot summer nights and cold winter evenings. The body does not sweat, breathes, warms. Due to the unique properties of the plant, bamboo, bedbugs and other bed pests will not start. This means that the plant is a good antiseptic (an additional plus in the piggy bank).

But, like any other textile, they need care.

The results of surveys conducted by volunteers in the capital of our country show that housewives prefer proven fillers for pillows. Pooh, feather, holofiber and its derivatives are the three leaders. But the use of bamboo fiber is gaining momentum. Although such pillows are not the leaders of the polls, young families began to switch more to natural fillers.

The fiber itself has antibacterial and antistatic properties, that is, it practically does not get dirty.

Save or not: which is more profitable?

Bamboo fiber is more expensive than analogs. But the question is very conditional. Health savings are unlikely to succeed. Therefore, it is worth considering the purchase of a good pillow filled with bamboo textiles.

Wash these pillows is only in case of pollution napernika.

It is interesting! The bamboo industry is a very profitable business. The growth rate of the stems of each plant is almost 20 meters per month. This fact plays into the hands of both the production and the buyer. No need to use chemical additives manufacturer, spending additional funds. For the buyer, this is a guarantee of health and environmental friendliness.

To wash a pillow from bamboo, you can use an automatic machine or do it by hand, but do not hand over such products to dry-cleaning, since the fiber can be irretrievably ruined.

Speaking of production. The filler for bedding is made from the core of the plant. The soft substance is subjected to a special treatment (of which the manufacturer, of course, is silent). The output is a raw material, which later takes the form of a known filler, for the care of which special requirements are made, in particular, the cleaning process in the washing machine, as well as how to choose detergent.

Bamboo filler.

Bamboo care: wash correctly

Wash pillows in two ways:

  • in the washing machine;

If you do not like hand washing at all, you can use a washing machine. Bamboo does not have any contraindications to such care.

  • hand wash in the pelvis.

Bamboo pillows can be washed by hand.

There is a third option - it is a wash in a hand washing machine. But these wonderful technical devices have long been sunk into oblivion. Such hardly anyone uses.

Not every filler, after machine wash, will feel "wonderful." For example, fluff / feather absolutely can not be subjected to "wet" cleaning. But such synthetic materials as comfort, sintepon and holofiber feel great in a wet environment.

Tip from the manufacturer for the care of the pillow.

Contrary to popular belief, bamboo pillows can (and should) be subjected to "wet cleaning." But here it is important to know all the nuances of caring for the product, to correctly select the detergent, not to confuse the mode on the washing machine.

No bleaching agents or other excessive chemicals designed to remove particularly heavy stains and dirt.

Automatic wash

Each house has a washing machine. Therefore, it is the easiest way to wash your bamboo product in it. Follow the rules below. In order to avoid contradictions, be sure to read the attached instructions for the product.

For washing machines, you can use a special mode.

Step-by-step instruction.

  1. First remove the pillowcase from the product.
  2. Check all seams and face for breakouts, holes. If detected, darn the product without fail.

    The napernik is carefully checked for damage.

  3. Detergent buy necessarily liquid. Suitable chemical composition for delicate washing (silk, wool).

    For machine cleaning, you can choose powders for delicate washing or liquid capsule agents.

  4. Observe the temperature during washing: a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius.
  5. Spin the product is better to leave for later. But if there is no time or desire to mess around, then turn the spin at the lowest possible speed (400 is the maximum).
  6. Use tennis or massage balls (you can buy at the pharmacy, they are orange).

    Putting a pillow should be in a certain section, then you need to pour liquid detergent.

  7. The washing mode is delicate.

    After washing and spinning it should be fluffed, straighten the material inside, distribute evenly.

  8. Provide a good rinse. Bamboo cushions after washing should not smell much detergent composition.

    It is necessary to turn on the double rinse mode, and also use a spin for no more than 500 revolutions.

After washing, dry the pillow. To do this, use the horizontal layout option. You can not hang a pillow, in order to avoid the appearance of lumpiness.

In the process of drying, be sure to turn and knock down a textile product.

Handwash

Before washing the pillows with your hands, do the preparatory stage. Eliminate all flaws, sew textiles.

  • Prepare a basin with water of 30 degrees.

Use a basin or bath.

  • Pour in detergent and stir until foam appears.

Dissolve the product and place the pillow.

  • Soak the pillow in water for 40 minutes.
  • Next you need to mash your hands with textiles in the pelvis. No intensive wash allowed.

Hand washing uses ordinary laundry soap, dissolved in warm water, and special liquid detergents.

  • Rinse with a replacement of cold water up to 6 times. When the soap bubbles stop appearing on the surface, the pad is flushed out.
  • Spin swipe lightly. Better to leave some water.
  • Put the textile with bamboo filler on the horizontal plane of the dryer, substituting for her pelvis.

Dry on a horizontal trellis surface.

Wash off as you pollute, but at least once a year (preferably 2).

It should be remembered that the product purchased from an unscrupulous manufacturer will very quickly disappoint with the loss of shape, elasticity and low performance.

If you follow these simple operations, your pillow will serve you for years.

Given the long life of a high-quality bamboo cushion, you should abandon the principle of economy and purchase a thing of a proven brand.
