Instruction manual
1
If your blanket has no visible dirt or stains, dry clean. To do this, hang it on the balcony (loggia) and knock it out with a broom or a special cracker. After that, leave it for 2-3 hours in the fresh air. In winter, knock out the plaid on the street, in clear snow. Then dry it in a well-ventilated area.

For wet cleaning of the blanket, a special tool that you can cook yourself is perfect. To do this, mix 2 cups of pure water with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Apply this product with a kitchen sponge to your product. After that, vacuum the blanket and hang it on the loggia (balcony) until completely dry. Remember: it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning of the product with rubber gloves to protect the skin of your hands from the harmful effects of detergents.

No less effective means for cleaning the plaid is a soap solution. To prepare it, dilute 2 tablespoons of soap shavings per 1 liter of boiled water. Add 1 teaspoon of soda, 5-10 drops of lavender essential oil and tea tree to the resulting solution. Apply this product on a blanket and clean it with a hard brush. After that, remove the remnants of the product with a kitchen sponge, moistening it in clean water. For drying, hang the plaid in a well-ventilated place (loggia, balcony).

Also, a baking soda solution can be used as a detergent. To prepare it, mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 liter of boiled water, 5-10 drops of lemon essential oil, 5-10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil. Moisten a stiff brush in the product and clean the blanket. Eucalyptus oil perfectly disinfects any surface, and lemon oil eliminates unpleasant odors. After cleaning, hang up the product in a well-ventilated place.
