Things To Know Before Purchasing Blanket Storage

You don’t want to unfold your blankets only for them to smell musty.

It can happen and will ruin your precious blankets as well as your mood. One common cause for that musty smell is lack of airflow. A wet blanket can also cause this problem if it starts growing bacteria.

To avoid this, make sure your blankets are clean and dry before storing them.

If blankets are stored in open baskets, the chances of getting them musty are less because of the continuous airflow.

  • Use fragrance sachets in your cupboard. Fill these sachets with dried herbs and essential oils. Lavender works best, but you can try tee tree oil, rosemary, or even lemongrass.
  • If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can use dryer sheets that are readily available in your laundry closet.
  • Simply poke a few holes in a baking soda container. It absorbs and neutralizes the odor.

Make sure to change this container every few months for optimal results.

When Should You Clean/Wash Your Blankets?

Since we use blankets as our snuggle buddies, they must be clean to avoid rashes and skin problems.

If you use blankets everyday, wash them every week in a low or normal washer and dryer setting. If you use blankets once or twice a week, make sure to wash them at least once a month.

How Do You Keep Your Blankets Soft?

Your blankets can turn a little firm after continuous use and washing with detergent.

Throw it in your washer for a long wash but swap detergent with a cup full of white vinegar. Vinegar will soften the fibers and remove any unwanted odor. It is excellent for small spots and dirty patches.

What To Do If Your Blankets Start Pilling?

When your blankets get a tiny layer of lint or fuzzy balls, it is called pilling.

It can make touching your blankets an unpleasant task. You can follow the instructions given with the blanket to avoid it from pilling in the first place, but if your blankets have started pilling, try using a safety razor and remove these tiny bubbles.

Wrapping Up

Make sure you are doing it carefully because a little extra force can damage the blanket by ripping it.

If your blanket has lint all over it, try using a lint roller. It is effective and works like a charm if your house has pets.

Now get on with your blanket storing spree!
