Silk is "washed" in a romantic entanglement with stains
Hey, dear home furnishings, have you ever encountered such a dilemma?The beloved silk quilt on the bed was accidentally stained, what should I do?Don't worry, today I'm going to popularize the cleaning cheats of silk quilts!
We all know that silk quilts are the "Hermes" of the home furnishing industry, luxurious and comfortable. But when it comes to cleaning, it's a headache. In fact, cleaning silk quilts is not complicated, the key is to master the correct method.
First, the cleaning points of silk quilts
The water temperature is moderate: When cleaning the silk quilt, the water temperature is best controlled at about 30 degrees Celsius. Excessively high water temperatures can damage the silk's natural fiber structure, resulting in impaired warmth and elasticity of the quilt.
Use a special detergent: Choose a mild special detergent and avoid using alkaline or acidic detergents to avoid damage to silk fibers.
Scrub gently: When cleaning, the action should be gentle, try to avoid rubbing or twisting vigorously. Silk fibers are relatively fragile, and excessive rubbing can easily lead to fiber breakage.
Avoid bleach: Bleach contains an oxidant that reacts chemically with proteins in silk, causing the quilt to turn yellow and brittle. Therefore, it is important to avoid using bleach when cleaning.
Allow to dry naturally: After washing, place the silk quilt in a ventilated place to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight to avoid yellowing and embrittlement of silk fibers.
2. Coping strategies for all kinds of stains
Juice stains: If you accidentally spill juice on the silk quilt, you should immediately gently press with a paper towel or absorbent cloth to absorb the excess juice. Then, gently scrub with a special detergent and finally rinse off with clean water.
Ink stains: Ink stains are relatively stubborn, but there are ways to deal with them. First, gently massage the ink stain with rice grains to absorb the ink. Then, gently scrub with a special detergent and finally rinse off with clean water.
Oil stains: The best way to deal with oil stains is to "fight oil with oil". Use a cotton swab to pick up a small amount of olive oil or cooking oil, gently massage the oil stain, and then gently press with an absorbent paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Finally, wash with a special detergent.
Urine stains: Urine stain is a special kind of stain, so you need to be careful when cleaning. You can first mix white vinegar or lemon juice with water in a ratio of 1:3 and apply the mixture to the urine stain. Wait about 5 minutes and rinse off with clean water. Do not rub vigorously to avoid further damage to the silk fibers.
Of course, different stains may have different treatment methods, but in general, we still need to care for and maintain them carefully. Just like we do with our **, proper care and maintenance can keep the silk quilt in the best condition.
3. Cleaning tips
Baking soda: Before washing, you can add an appropriate amount of baking soda to the water, stir well, and soak the quilt for about 30 minutes. Baking soda is effective in removing odors and stains from quilts.
Desiccant: To keep the comforter dry and clean, you can place some desiccant in the storage place to absorb moisture and odors.
Flip it regularly: Every once in a while, the silk quilt is turned over in the sun, which can not only sterilize and disinfect, but also keep the quilt dry and fluffy. But remember to avoid prolonged sun exposure!
The choice of storage box: Choose a storage box with good breathability and environmentally friendly material to store silk quilts. Avoid using plastic boxes to avoid odors and moisture.
Professional care: If your silk quilt is more expensive or old, it is recommended to send it to a professional cleaning shop regularly for care and maintenance. This ensures that the quilt gets the best possible care and prolongs its lifespan.
