What are the benefits of drying quilts in winter?
1. It plays a bactericidal effect
The quilts are exposed to ultraviolet rays, reduce the bacteria carried, and reduce the occurrence of epidemic diseases such as colds.
2. Reducing dander metabolism by mites on quilts, as well as a warm and humid environment are the best nutrients and living environments for mites. Although drying the quilt cannot completely kill mites, it can reduce mites on the quilt, and they will be exposed to the sun and shake off, making it difficult for the mites to reproduce.
3. Improve the warmth of the quilt
When exposing the sun, the air content in the quilt will be high, and the insulation effect will be better.
4. Keep the quilt dry and prevent mold and skin diseases.
5. Prevent the quilt from mold, especially the bedding in use. Due to the sweat stains emitted by people during sleep, the bedding will become relatively damp over time and be prone to mold. Not only does the smell smell bad, but it is also prone to cotton lice and mucor spores. Therefore, we should pay more attention to drying regularly and remove moisture and bacteria from cotton wool in time. This will not only increase the service life of the bedding, but also increase its elasticity and warmth, and is beneficial to human health.
6. Keep the quilt dry
We cover the quilt every day, and the human body has sweat and body odor. Drying the quilt can remove the moisture and odor in the quilt, keep the quilt dry, is good for our health, and is comfortable to sleep.
7. Can reduce harmful substances on quilts
Because various artificial boards and wooden furniture contain chemical substances such as formaldehyde that are harmful to the body, over time, the bedding placed inside will naturally absorb a large amount of free formaldehyde. Therefore, before use, take the quilt to sunlight and dry it. Under the action of ultraviolet rays and air flow, it can not only kill harmful microorganisms in the quilt, but also evaporate free formaldehyde, but also make the fibers of the quilt stretch and fluffy, making people sleep comfortably and safely.
Issues to pay attention to when drying quilts
1. Don't pat them after drying quilts
Many people like to pat them after drying them, thinking that they can remove dust and make the quilt fluffy and soft. Experts say this method is not scientific. After passing through the drying quilt, a large amount of warm air is stored between the fibers, so it covers fluffy, warm and dry. If you pat the cotton wool hard, you will pat the warm air out of the cotton wool, reducing the fluffyness.
will also cause the fibers to break and easily accumulate after being beaten. Therefore, after drying the quilt, just use a soft brush to gently brush the surface to remove dust.
2. Don't dry quilts for too long
Usually, when drying quilts, they smell the "scent of the sun", which is actually a smell of cellulose being damaged by oxidation. Long-term exposure to the sun will cause the more serious the damage to the cellulose and the warmth will decrease. Studies have shown that people are most likely to fall asleep in the quilt temperature between 32 and 34 in autumn and winter. The quilt is usually drying between 11 noon and 2 pm for one or two hours. The quilt is easy to absorb moisture, so it should be put away as soon as possible, rather than the longer the better.
