Whenever the winter sun shines, people like to take out thick quilts to dry. This is advocated and necessary. It is said that quilts will breed a large number of mites if they are not sunburned for a long time. So how to dry quilts in winter is the healthiest way?
The quilt is not sunny for three months, and countless mites are breeding
Cotton bedding, wool sweaters, etc. that keep warm in autumn and winter contain keratin, which is an ideal food for borer eggs to hatch into larvae. The production and reproduction of borers in the wardrobe will produce a large number of pathogens that endanger human health, because some human dandruff, sweat, oil, etc. will inevitably be retained in the bedding. Even if it is a clean bedding, it will not be sunburned for three consecutive months, countless mites will breed inside.
If stored for too long, the bedding will naturally adsorb harmful substances
In addition, 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 adsorb a large amount of free formaldehyde. Even newly purchased bedding may be subject to different pollution during production and transportation. 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.
The quilts in use are prone to mold, so they need to be sunburned in time. Especially the quilts in use are used. Due to the sweat stains emitted by people during sleep, the quilts will become relatively humid and prone to mold over time. Not only does the odor 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.
Drying quilts should be scientific, but drying quilts should also be scientific, especially the following aspects should be paid more attention to:
1. Avoid windy days and secondary pollution “
Choose sunny weather to dry quilts, and try to avoid windy days to prevent dust and pollen in the air from falling on the quilts and dirtying the quilts. You should also choose to dry it in a clean air place to prevent the bedding from being "secondary contaminated" during the drying process.
2. Before you have not used it for a long time, you need to dry it once before you have not used it for a long time. You must dry it once before using it to facilitate drying and hygiene; the bedding you are using can be dried once a week.
3. The best time to dry the quilt from 11 noon to 2 pm
Although the temperature in winter is not high, the ultraviolet rays in the warm afternoon sun are relatively strong. In addition, the air in winter is relatively dry, which can still meet people's drying needs to drive away moisture, eliminate mold and sterilize. Generally speaking, it is most appropriate to dry the bedding from 11 noon to 2 pm every day.
4. The quilt should be avoided from being exposed to the sun. Do not expose it to the sun. Just dry it in a ventilated place such as the balcony for one hour. If it is placed outdoors for drying, it is best to cover it with a thin cloth to avoid or reduce the damage to its fibers due to direct sunlight, so as to extend the service life and maintain good warmth.
5. Do not pat on the quilt when drying
Don't take pictures after drying Many people like to pat on the quilt after drying, and they feel that it 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. After slapping, the fibers will break and easily accumulate. Therefore, after drying the quilt, just use a soft brush to gently brush the surface to remove dust.
