How do I wash and care for my flannel comforter set to maintain its warmth and breathability?
The warmth and breathability of flannel quilt sets are well known. However, in order to maintain its long-term performance, the correct cleaning and maintenance methods are particularly important. The following is an industry knowledge description on the cleaning and maintenance of flannel quilt sets.
1. Cleaning method
Water temperature selection: When cleaning flannel quilt sets, the choice of water temperature is crucial. Generally speaking, warm water or cold water is the best choice, because high temperature water may cause fiber shrinkage and deformation, which in turn affects warmth and breathability.
Detergent selection: Using a neutral detergent is the key to cleaning flannel quilt sets.

Therefore, it is crucial to choose a mild, bleach-free detergent.
Soaking and washing: After dissolving the detergent in warm water, soak the flannel quilt set for a few minutes. Then, gently rub the stain with your hands. Do not use a brush or apply too much force to avoid damaging the fabric's fluff or causing the fluff to fall off.
Rinse and dry: After washing, rinse the quilt set with clean water to ensure that there is no detergent residue. Then, place the quilt set in a ventilated place to dry, avoid direct sunlight to prevent the fabric from fading or hardening.
2. Maintenance method
Reduce friction and pulling: In daily use, try to reduce friction and pulling on the flannel quilt set to extend its service life.
Regular replacement and cleaning: In order to keep the flannel quilt set clean and hygienic, it is recommended to replace and clean it regularly. The specific frequency can be determined according to the usage and the degree of stains.
Collection and moisture-proof: When not in use, the flannel quilt set should be neatly stacked and stored in a dry and ventilated place. At the same time, some mothballs can be put in to prevent moth infestation.
Ironing and finishing: If the flannel quilt set is wrinkled or uneven, you can use an iron to iron it. But please note that the ironing temperature should be controlled within the range of 120 to 140 degrees, and use medium temperature ironing to avoid damage to the fabric.
