Maintaining The Softness Of A Minky Blanket

By Jose Fisher


Blankets are types of bedding which are made from a large sized woven cloth. These are being used to make people feel warm, most especially when lying down or sleeping. It will trap the heat from the body of the person, thus, providing heat and warming the body. It can also protect a person from cold due to convection.

Traditionally, most blankets were made out of wool since this is warm, while the bed sheets are made out from linen, cotton, or silk. These materials for the sheets reduce skin irritations. The most common materials today are synthetic fibers for both blankets and sheets. Other purposes of these are for picnics or as an object for comforting small children which is called the minky blanket.

Minkys are types of fabrics that are used for creating baby clothing, blankets, and accessories. These fabrics are like fleece but are made softer and thicker. High quality fabrics help for preventing the color to fade out and help on decreasing warm over time.

Before minky fabrics are used for creating baby blankets, these are used first in creating small stuffed animals, pillows, diaper covers, baby clothes, booties, bibs, burp clothes, and changing pad covers. From the babies comfort, it goes up for teenagers or adults comfort. The term for this is minky couture. A minky couture gives luxurious fabrics to all types of ages.

Aside from using it for warming, it also also gives other people an idea of decorating. It has several different designs, patterns, and style that can give a stylish look to living rooms, bedrooms, or even in the bathrooms. This can also be used as a cover for chairs, dressers, couches, and piano.

A minky is being produced special and as well as durable, so no worries in using washing machines if you wash it. Even when you have washed many times, it would still remain soft like you first hold it. And surely, no one wants to use a lose blanket. And mostly, people have doubts on washing clothes that are thin and soft because it may be torn out after a single wash.

For sure, children most especially toddlers may love playing it through wrapping the fabric around them or they may drag it all over the house. To be able to maintain its shape and as well as the softness, follow these simple steps. First is separating it from other clothing. You should wash it alone or with blankets with the same type. Use laundry detergents and fabric softeners when you wash it. Avoid using bleaches.

Second, if there are stains, you remove it through the mixture of baby powder and cornstarch and placing it to the stain overnight before washing it. A dishwashing liquid may be used as well. These methods work when you use cold water for rinsing.

If the weather is hot, it would be better to hang it when drying to avoid pilling. But if you choose to use a dryer, select low heat setting. But pillings cannot be avoided, so to remove it, you may use a sweater shaver or just a simple disposable razor. Use it in a light pressure to avoid cutting the fabric.
