On what program to wash a blanket in an LG washing machine?

Selecting the right program for washing a blanket in an LG washing machine can be a little challenging. Bulky items like blankets need to be handled carefully to maintain their quality and ensure that they are cleaned completely.

Thankfully, LG washing machines have a range of programs built in to handle various kinds of laundry, including thick items like blankets. Making the right program choice will guarantee that your blanket is clean and new looking in addition to protecting it.

We’ll walk you through the process of selecting the ideal LG washing program for your blanket in this article. We can provide you with a thick duvet or a lightweight throw.

Choosing the right algorithm

A home blanket is a very comfortable item. There is no need to wash the product every few days because it does not get dirty very often. The bedspread needs to be cleaned about every two to four weeks because it gathers dust and pet hair.

A large blanket can be challenging to hand wash because it gets very heavy after it gets wet. As a result, housewives typically favor washing bedspreads automatically. It’s critical to ascertain the item’s composition before tossing it into the drum.

The most popular types of home blankets are made of wool, fleece, cotton, bamboo, plush, and cashmere.

Any of the materials on the list needs to be handled carefully. Bedspreads should not be machine washed in hot water or dried quickly. Such drastic measures run the risk of deforming the fabric, damaging the fibers, and causing the product to fade.

If a blanket is placed inside the drum, which program would you select? For the best care of bedspreads, use the "Delicate" or "Hand wash" programs. Every automatic machine has these modes available.

When washing a blanket, the water’s heating temperature shouldn’t go above 40 °C. The material will determine the maximum spin speed that is allowed. Products that are strong enough can be "spun" at 800 revolutions per minute. It is preferable to remove moisture using the conventional method if the blanket is prone to deformation; spinning it will not help. Let’s examine the characteristics of fabric care for various kinds of fabrics.

The item is made of fleece

Blankets made of fleece are true "favorites" in homes. They are comforting, delicate, soft, and just the right amount of warm. There is no special handling needed for this material. An automatic washing machine can be used to safely wash a fleece blanket.

When washing a fleece blanket in the machine, there are a few guidelines that need to be followed:

• the water heating temperature should not exceed 30°C;
• spinning is possible, but at low speeds (the fleece can stretch if the drum rotates too fast);
• it is better to use liquid detergents: gels, balms. Powder does not dissolve well in cool water and is not completely washed out of the fabric fibers;
• the blanket must be washed separately from other things.

The housewife may believe that the LG washing machine’s drum is too empty after tossing one blanket inside. As a result, a lot of people attempt to fill the washing machine with additional items. This is not a good idea because a light blanket will get wet and absorb most of the "centrifuge."

A fleece blanket will dry sufficiently fast, even if you wring it out as quickly as possible. This is yet another benefit of this kind of fabric.

Long-pile synthetic blankets

"Grass" refers to a bedspread with a long, thick pile. A fluffy product requires a little more upkeep than a fleece one. When selecting an automated washing machine for a blanket, you need to adhere to multiple guidelines:

• In order not to damage the pile, you need to wash the fabric at a temperature not exceeding 40 ° C;
• It is advisable to use a special laundry bag. Due to this, the appearance of the blanket will be preserved, the pile will not look "shabby";
• Only liquid detergents can be used for washing. Powder granules will get stuck in the pile, rinsing them out completely will be problematic;
• The composition of the washing gel should not contain chlorine – an aggressive component can spoil the fabric;
• automatic spinning of "Grass" is possible, but at a speed of no more than 400 rpm.

Make sure to shake the fabric thoroughly when removing a long-pile blanket from the LG washing machine.

Shaking the blanket will help it take shape and straighten the pile. To fluff up the pile after the product has dried, it is recommended to comb it with a clothes brush.

Caring for a plush product

Most of the time, you can machine wash soft, plush blankets. Feel free to fill the drum with the product, unless the label specifies otherwise. Naturally, but with some restrictions:

• choose a delicate washing program;
• the water temperature should not be higher than 40°C;
• it is better to turn off the spin or select the minimum speed. This will help preserve the shape of the product;
• use liquid detergent so that it is completely washed out of the plush fibers.

It is preferable to link the primary washing program with the "Extra rinse" option. It’s also important to keep in mind that a fluffy blanket gets very heavy when it gets wet. Consider, therefore, if the load your LG washing machine can handle is appropriate.

Washing a wool product

Because they are so warm, natural wool blankets are a common household item. To maintain the shape and qualities of the material, it is preferable to hand wash this kind of blanket. If you decide to take a chance and put a woolen item in an automatic washer, remember these tips:

• The temperature should not exceed 30°C. At a higher temperature, the wool will lose its shape;
• Only liquid detergents intended for the care of woolen products are allowed for use;
• Automatic spinning is strictly prohibited. After removing the blanket from the drum, be sure to dry the product naturally. Otherwise, the blanket will be covered with “icicles” of wool.

These straightforward suggestions will aid in maintaining the product’s shape. Turning on the "Additional rinse" function in a washing machine is recommended when washing a woolen blanket. The fabric fibers won’t contain any detergent particles after that. The blanket must be shaken free of extra water after being taken out of the drum and then spread out to dry in the shade of a horizontal surface.

It’s not difficult to wash a blanket in your LG washing machine. Making the appropriate program choice will guarantee that your blanket is completely cleaned and unharmed. For the majority of blanket types, the "Bedding" or "Bulky" setting is typically the safest choice because it offers the ideal ratio of water to movement for a thorough cleaning.

Make sure to read the care label on your blanket before putting it in the washer. This will direct you regarding the proper temperature of the water as well as other particular instructions. Additionally, using a mild detergent will help to preserve the fabric’s softness and integrity.

Recall not to hit the drum too hard. For a blanket to be effectively laundered, it must have adequate room to move around. To avoid shrinkage or damage, air dry the blanket after the wash cycle or use a low heat setting in the dryer.

You can maintain your blanket’s cleanliness, freshness, and excellent condition for many years to come by simply following these easy steps.

Selecting the appropriate program for an LG washing machine is crucial for achieving a deep clean without causing any harm to the fabric when washing a blanket. The "Bedding" or "Bulky Items" program is typically the best choice because it is made especially for bulkier, heavier items like blankets and offers a balanced wash cycle with low water levels and gentle agitation to effectively clean while preserving the material.
