Easy Home Remedies to Remove Musty Odors from Blankets
Blanket Smell Removal Tips: With proper cleaning and storage, you can enjoy a fresh and pleasant blanket all season long. All you need to do is try a few tips.
Warm blankets are highly useful during winters, but when they undergo continuous storage or moisture, they may develop an irritating smell that could further deteriorate a person's allergy or respiratory problem. Many people take their blankets outside in the sun and hang them or even shake them vigorously; however, these techniques do not completely eliminate the smell from the blankets.
A few home remedies will help you get rid of the musty or damp smell from your blanket effectively. Further, these remedies not only eliminate the odor but also maintain softness and quality. A well-washed and appropriately stored blanket will remain fresh and pleasant throughout the season.
Sunlight is among the best natural solutions; it helps take away moisture by keeping a blanket under bright sun for 3-4 hours, killing bacteria, and restoring freshness. Baking soda also works as a natural deodorizer. Lightly sprinkle it over the blanket, let it sit for an hour, then shake it off and place the blanket in the sun.
