Season changing tips | Do you know how to store and maintain winter bedding during season changing?

2023-02-07

The weather is getting warmer and it's time to put away the winter bedding. When it comes to winter bedding storage, it is a headache for many friends, not to mention that it requires a lot of time and space, and the storage and maintenance methods of various winter bedding are also different. Let's take a look at how winter bedding should be stored together!

Cotton quilt

Cotton quilts have good moisture absorption and breathability, are soft and warm, but are prone to moisture and require frequent drying. After 2-3 years of use, it is recommended to loosen the old cotton quilts to ensure their warmth.

【 Storage and Maintenance 】

Put on a duvet cover during use, air it in the sun for two hours every two weeks, and pat it to keep it fluffy and restore its softness. If the core is stained, you can use a damp cloth dipped in neutral soap to wipe off the stains.

The cotton quilt is not very delicate, and the storage environment is not very strict. As long as it is dry and insect free, it can be stored in a vacuum compression bag, which is very space saving. The cotton quilt is not afraid of pressure and can be placed on the bottom layer of clothing when stacked.

Fiber covered

Fiber quilt is a type of artificial synthetic fiber quilt that is durable, elastic, easy to wash and dry, resistant to sunlight, friction, and also has good insulation and moisture absorption properties.

【 Storage and Maintenance 】

Store in a dry and ventilated place to avoid heavy pressure. Also, flip and sun dry 1-2 months to keep it fluffy. When storing, it should be placed in a relatively dry and ventilated place to prevent mold.

Silk quilt

Silk quilts are made of natural protein fibers, which are highly praised for their warmth and thinness. They are warm in winter and cool in summer. Silk has good moisture absorption, breathability, and softness, but it will condense and deform when exposed to water. Therefore, special attention should be paid to washing and maintenance methods.

【 Storage and Maintenance 】

Be sure to put a quilt cover on the outside of the quilt before use to avoid dust and stains on the quilt. It is not allowed to be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, but it is best to air it in a cool and ventilated place for two hours every two weeks. After drying, gently pat with your hand to maintain its fluffiness.

The silk quilt core itself cannot be washed with water, dry cleaned, or ironed. If there are stains, you can use neutral detergent to wipe and dry, or choose to go to a professional dry cleaning shop for cleaning.

Silk quilts must be air dried before storage and should not be stored in damp or stuffy environments or in plastic bags. Otherwise, once the silk is damp, it will produce a strange odor and lose its warmth and breathability. In addition, when collecting, it is important to avoid stacking heavy objects on the quilt to make it thinner and harder.

Down comforter

Due to the triangular skeleton structure of down, which can effectively lock in temperature, the temperature of the human body in the quilt is not affected by indoor temperature. Therefore, down blankets can be used in spring, autumn, and winter. But after absorbing moisture, down is prone to clumping and spoilage, and there may also be fleece, so it is important to pay more attention to maintenance in daily life.

【 Storage and Maintenance 】

When using, an additional layer of duvet cover should be placed on the fabric of the down jacket to prevent damage to the duvet. In principle, down comforters should not be washed because if not cleaned thoroughly, it can cause salt frost or stains on the surface of the quilt core, and it can also reduce the fluffiness of the down.

But experts suggest that suitable methods should also be used for cleaning after 2-3 years of use. Firstly, it is not machine washable and professional down quilt cleaning services should be chosen. In addition, it is necessary to specify the use of neutral cleaning agents or specialized feather cleaning agents for rinsing during washing. In addition, it is also possible to request the addition of some aromatic agents during washing to remove the odor of the quilt after prolonged use. Furthermore, it is not advisable to dry clean down duvet to avoid removing the natural oil from the down and affecting its effectiveness.

Due to the tendency of down to clump and spoil after absorbing moisture, it is necessary to regularly take it to a well ventilated place for drying, and gently pat it with your hands or a small stick to restore the down to a natural and fluffy state, in order to avoid spoilage and bacterial growth, and to extend the service life of the down quilt.

The down comforter should not be heavily pressed or folded multiple times, otherwise its elasticity and warmth will be reduced. When collecting, it should be placed in a well ventilated and dry environment to prevent moisture and mold. Additionally, the down comforter cannot be sealed for storage, but insect repellents can be used.
