A downy shawl is, of course, a very beautiful thing, however neatly you did not use it, this product is still contaminated.
How correctly to wash a downy kerchief?
If you decide to wash a downy shawl, remember the most important rule: never wash it with detergents containing whitening or tinting substances. In addition, in any case, do not boil the product.
Proper washing of the downy shawl, which can not damage it, should look like this: the product must be washed in water, the temperature of which does not exceed 40 degrees when using a shampoo or special care for down products. First, the handkerchief should be put on a quarter of an hour in the water, after which, slightly working on it with the help of hands, wash. After washing, the favorite product should be rinsed by adding rinse or softener to the water. You do not need to wring out the handkerchief. As for drying, it is only in a straightened form and at room temperature.
Care of a downy shawl
To the downy scarf for a long time to maintain the attractiveness of the appearance, it is necessary to take care of it in a certain way.
So, for example, if you want to bleach a handkerchief, bleaches for natural wool products are perfect for this purpose.
After washing, it is desirable to rinse the handkerchief in water with the addition of vinegar (for 5 liters of water 1 tablespoon). This will lend shine and softness to your product. However, with a good detergent such a procedure is absolutely not necessary.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is highly unreasonable to subject the dry-cleaned kerchief to dry cleaning, since the quality of the fluff in this case quickly deteriorates, and the service life of the product decreases accordingly.
In order for the handkerchief to be as fluffy and soft as possible, take it out during a snowfall in winter to the street and hang it on the clothesline for about two hours.
To store down products it is necessary in linen or paper bags so that the fluff "breathes", carefully guarding against moths. To do this, it is best to use special tools that are sold in all hardware stores.
If you meet fairly simple requirements, your favorite feather shawl will please you with its beauty, give warmth and tenderness and, of course, you will serve for many years.
