Does it need to be washed for the new buying blankets?

Many friends are not familiar to the blanket production process, so, after the purchase of blankets, they always got confused, whether the new buying blanket should be washed. The answer is yes, the new buying blanket definitely should be washed without any doubt. Especially for the general quality blanket.

Many of my friends think that, if the blanket package is good, probably we don't have to wash it for the first time, in face, it's a misunderstanding. Why should we have to wash it? We summarize some reasons as follows:

1. Many blankets are not cleaned and disinfected before the factory, the dyeing raw material used in the production process will still remains in the blanket, which is the main reason we need to wash it.

2. Blankets will be polluted easily during the production process, package and transport. Manufacturing machines and workers will very easy to dirty blankets, especially for those small manufacturers which the factory environment is not very good. I guess you would not like to use a dirty blanket.

3. Washing the new buying blanket can reduce the fade and other issues due to the printing. Cold water would be better.

So for our health, we think wash the blankets before using would be better.

But if it is cloudy blanket, it will not occur the above problem no matter how long.    

Cloudy blanket products are completely subvert the blanket which can't machine washing during the washing process. And it will not deform, affect the matte side effects, and other advantages after hand washing, machine washing. Cloudy blanket choose polyester microfiber during the production process, through a special process to make it feel smooth, with a fluffy blanket. While, without any stimulation to the skin, not allergic and can fit different colored craft. Guarantee the color fastness and vividness cloudy blanket surface effectively. Some cloudy blankets made of natural bamboo fiber production and environmental protection, it has soft, shiny bright, antibacterial, deodorant, moisture, ventilation and other functions.

What should we pay attention while choosing blanket? Whether the quality is good, it not only depend on the fiber properties and processing mode, also have the connection to plush fiber density, weight and twist method. The more dense and thicker of the hair, the weight would be heavier per unit area. The quality and the appearance of the blanket will maintain longer.

How to Choose A Blanket

Blanket is a popular bedding home textile which belongs to coarse textile, usually we divided this into two categories: pure wool blankets and blended blankets. So, how to choose a blanket, what kind of brand is better, here I'm gonna to offer some experience and reference.

Wool Blanket Purchase Skills

1. The feel of touch should be crisp, soft and flexible. It can be identified as long as you touched it.
2. The fluffy degree of blanket, need to be soft, fluffy but not mess. The surface hair covering the blanket should be tidy. Underlying hair must be fine and dense, the base fabric shouldn't be bared. Or that would affect the quality and warm performance.
3. Besides, remember to see whether the luster is soft. As long as you love the color matching, the design.

Blended Blanket Purchase Skills

1. Blended blankets is mixed by wool and fiber, synthesized the feather of pure and acrylic fiber blankets. But the feature of cold-proof, warm, soft, comfortable degree are better acrylic fiber. The price are cheaper than pure blanket. The styles are varied like blended jacquard blanket, suede blended blankets, blended blankets prime etc.
2. About the appearance, fewer defects, the quality is close to pure blankets. The surface of the blanket is rich, flexible, soft.
3. When buying blankets, you can consider about the blanket brands like LOVELY BEAR, then choose it according to the characteristic of the blanket which must suitable for yourself. Currently, the blanket material are mainly wool, acrylic, viscose fiber and other chemical fibers. These materials are not necessarily suitable for ourselves, therefore, when considering the blanket material, pay more attention to the material, after all, some people are material allergic.

Original Weaving Cloth Shaping and Ironing

After weaving blanket cloth by spinning machine, it will be divided into two categories: the weft knitting cloth which is weaved by the weft machine; the raschel knitting cloth which is weaved by the raschel machine. 

The weft cloth are usually softer, the gap between yarn and yarn is larger, the hair of cloth is longer, the skeleton of cloth is more flexible. The original weft knitting cloth need to be shaped before ironed. The key of the whole cloth shaping process is Chemical Additives--Styling Gel, which is a high molecular polymer, the main chemical raw material is acrylic acid and acrylate. Styling gel can effectively play a fixed role for shaping weft knitting cloth. After shaping, cloth can be dealt with further ironed.

The raschel cloth is more simple than the weft cloth, because the raschel cloth is little bit harder, the gap between yarn and yarn is smaller, the hair of cloth is shorter, the skeleton of cloth is strong, so the raschel cloth don't need to be shaped and ironed directly. 

One point need to be emphasized, cloth ironing is very important during the whole blankets process of production. The surface temperature of ironing machine is very high, about 300-330 centigrade. The purpose of cloth ironing is to make the cloth surface to touch the machine, while the polyester can be reorganized instantly. When the temperature drops, the cloth surface will become more delicate, neat and bright. 

Cloth ironing and styling need to pay attention this following points:
1. The quality and the amount used play a decisive role in sharping weft cloth. 
2. The surface temperature of machine is effective to the quality of cloth. So we must monitor the temperature. 
3. The manufacture of ironing machine is vital, the material must be hard and bearable for high temperature. 

How to Store Blankets

When weather gets warmer, we need to put our winter heavy blankets away for a while. It may lead to a bad influence like mildew or musty odors if you store the blankets in a wrong way. Here are several methods available to keep blankets and comforters smelling fresh.

1. WASH
About how to wash blankets, we have mentioned it in the previous article. If you don't know, view it here. You can choose the best way to wash your blankets according to the actual situation.
No one wants to store the blankets casually and when we need it take it out, I bet you would never want to use it again. Before storing the blankets, please make sure that the blanket is completely dry, otherwise, it is very easy to get mildew.

2.STORAGE

Generally, we believe that storing blankets with plastic bags may keep blanket far away from all kinds of bacteria. Actually, it's not like this. Airtight bags like this would more easier get musty odors. Instead, breathable cotton bags is preferred storage blankets, fresh air can completely take away the bacteria. But even if we store the blankets well, we still need to take blankets out to breath regularly. Especially in the rainy season, the air is more humid. If you use air conditioning, open the closet door while the air conditioner is on to help dehumidify the closet.

How to Wash Home Textile Blankets

Friends with blankets always feel it's very difficult to wash blankets because that's different from clothes which can just rubbing wash it. It's easy to be damaged if you choose the wrong way. Here I am going to make a detailed summary. 
First of all, you need to figure out what kind of blanket did you bought, that's different washing way according to the different quality blankets. We put blankets into two categories based on our currently blankets quality. 

1. One is pure wool blankets. Pure wool blankets can't washed by washing machine, because the high-speed rotation of the washing machine will sprain wool blankets, and will very easy to be deformed after washing. It is generally recommended to take hand washing or dry-cleaning. If hand washing, it is generally recommend to soak in cold water for a while before washing, so that the blanket can completely saturated. It would be appropriate if you can add some liquid detergent or clothing care softener which can keep the softness of the blankets. Then take the blankets out and press off the water gently, wash the key corners with soap. Be careful, do not twist blankets which can deform the blankets. Finally, blankets should be dry in the shade. Do not direct sun exposure, which would make blanket harden. 

2. The other one is a common chemical fiber blankets, mostly are polyester and fibre blankets. This two blankets can both be washed by washing machine, Water temperature not too hot, about 20 degrees is more appropriately. Specific ways is like the first one. If in machine washing, do not use the washing machine drying, pressing the water directly gently is enough. Blankets should mainly dry in the shade which can keep the shape of blankets.

The Introduction of How to Weaving Blankets by Raw Material

The main raw material of blankets are polyester, acrylic, cotton ect...As to the cheap cost and convenient way to achieve, polyester has become the main raw material of 90% blankets amde in China. As a kind of material made through industrial and chemical polymerization, this manufacturing technique is very mature in China. The basic material of Polyester is made by direct esterification method using PTA and EG and polycondensation of 9BHET. Which is also called PET, H(OCH2CCOCO)NOCH2CH2OH is its chemical structural formula of long chain molecules. It's molecular weight is usually around 18000-25000. After the polymer formation, melting point jet, forming diverse types of polyester silk by using Mechanical separation devices. The whole process is called Polyester jet. 

That's applicable for the following several specific blankets:
Ordinary blankets: 300D/96, 300D/144.
One-ply blanket: 250D/96, 250D/120.
Flannel blankets: 150D/288, 120D/192.
Cloudy blankets:150D/144.

The main difference between them are the thickness of yarn. Thick yarn has strong hardness and good resilience, so the finished products made from it have fluffier feeling, strong and stiff style and upright surface. Spun yarn is softer and has smaller diameter. The finished products made from it with high quality has softer, dense, smooth surface. So the cost is relatively higher. Wholesale blankets like this, would has high price ratio.

Additional resilience enhancement is unnecessary after polyester jet, but the yarn needs machine resilience enhancement. In order to enhance its resilience and reduce the force of friction on its surface. Weaving is feasible when the yarn reaches certain level of smoothness and toughness. Currently, there are two ways of weaving clothing: Weft knitting machine which is also called circular machine, which is weft knitting; another way is warp knitting by warp knitting machine. High grade blankets are made by the wary of warp knitting. 

Summary: 1. Adding different chemical additives appropriately gives our polyester yarns a different functions during the process of chemical polymerization of Polyester polymer. For instance, brighter, more matte, inflaming retarding etc... So the scientific research of chemical additives in the future will be one of the key points to change the function of Polyester. 2. The machinery function of weaving machines is very important to the quality in weaving. The change of new generation of weaving machines may also have a great impact on the varieties and production of blankets. 

China Blanets Market Overview

As textiles, blankets plays an important role in our daily home life. The main varieties are polyester blankets, acrylic blankets, cotton blankets and blended weaving blankets. Because of the sufficient raw materials, low cost, polyester blankets has been the mainstream blankets on the market recently.

China Blankets Market Overview

The production process of polyester blanket has the following procedures generally: 1. Polyester fiber spinning. 2. Adding elastic to polyester yarn. 3. Polyester weaving. 4. Original fabric shaping and ironing. 5. Original fabric dyeing and printing. 6. Blankets washing drying. 7. Blankets ironing and cutting. 8. Blankets sewing and packing.

Due to the rapid development of global technology, China has made a great process in the technology of blankets manufacturing industry. Chinese factories' blanket production technology has reached the highest level in the world, meanwhile, more than 80% production process has fully realized mechanization. About 80% of global blanket materials or blankets are all from China. Wholesale blankets from China seems to be the trend for many countries, especially for Middle East, South America, Europe and America etc.

With the Chinese blankets expanding production scale, improving mechanization degree, the production quantity is becoming bigger and bigger. But because of the market economy lever principle, combined with the global economic downturn. Chinese blankets have appeared oversupply situation. The blanket industry competition in China will becoming fiercer and fiercer in the future. The blanket industry will go into a ultra-low-profit space which facing a reshuffle situation.

Finally, personally think that the focusing Chinese blankets development in few years is: Further industry standardization(including environmental protection issues) and new products research and development!
