Blankets periodically require washing, and if they are filled with padding polyester, then it will work in a washing machine on its own. During the procedure, it is important to follow a number of rules that will prevent damage to things. Errors during washing may render the product unsuitable for further use.
Machine wash has absolutely no effect on the texture of the blanket, but you should be familiar with the tag and instructions for cleaning it.
Content
A blanket made of padding polyester is light, voluminous and retains heat well, but due to its structure, it absorbs a lot of dust and sweat, therefore it requires regular washing.
In the care, the synthetic winterizer is unpretentious and absolutely not afraid of water. If necessary, it can even be left soaked for a considerable time in cold water. From hot water, the filler can easily deteriorate.
Symbols for the care of products
The impact of aggressive chemical detergents and the use of spinning also has a negative effect on the material. In the case of hand washing, it is impossible to strongly tease the filler, violating its structure, otherwise the thing will lose its quality and become unsuitable for use.

Washing modes that can be used to wash blankets
It is possible to wash a blanket filled with padding polyester in the car, but only if it is small, or when a drum load of more than 6 kg is permissible. This is due to the fact that, easy to get wet, it is significantly weighted by absorbing water. In this case, in a standard machine, the drum is overloaded and unbalanced in most cases, due to which the equipment breaks.
The blanket should be placed in a washing machine so that there is still a bit of space in the drum - this will allow it to wash better.
To carry out the cleaning of bedding in the car is possible only if the equipment is designed to load large things. When allowed by the manufacturer, the washing machine is designed for the weight and wet contents of the drum. The rotation speed is chosen from 200 to 300 revolutions.
