Don’t pat the quilt repeatedly after drying it, okay?

　　Do not pat the quilt repeatedly after drying it

　　After drying the quilt, do you need to pat it repeatedly with your hands to remove the dust and make the quilt fluffy? Zhang Yan, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Textile Sciences, reminded: This approach is not scientific. After drying the quilt, just use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the surface to remove the floating dust.

　　Zhang Yan said: The fibers of cotton quilts are short and fragile. If you beat them hard, the fibers will break and turn into dust and escape from the cotton layer.； The synthetic fibers of synthetic quilts are thin and long and are easily deformed. Once beaten, the fibers shrink and will not recover and become a hardened piece. ； After the down is beaten, the down will break into fine "feather dust", affecting the thermal insulation effect. After the quilt is patted, dust and mite excrement on the surface will fly up, which can easily cause allergic reactions.

　　The best time to dry the quilt is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it should not be left in the sun for too long.

　　When a quilt is exposed to the sun for 3 hours, the cotton fibers will expand to a certain extent. If the quilt continues to be exposed to the sun, the cotton fibers will shorten and fall off easily.； If it is a synthetic cotton quilt, just dry it for a while to remove the moisture from the inner layer. ； High temperature will cause the oil content in feathers and wool to change and produce a rancid smell. Frequent drying is not required, and it should not be exposed to the sun. Just dry it in a ventilated place for 1 hour.

　　Zhang Yan reminded that quilts made of chemical fiber fabrics should not be exposed to the sun to prevent the chemical fibers from being burned by excessive temperatures. When drying the quilt, it can be covered with a thin cloth for protection.
