Frost is the best time to ventilate not only carpets, but also down pillows. As it turns out, the cold is a very good disinfectant, that is, instead of spending water and washing pillows or even bed linen in the washing machine or dry cleaner, use the help of Mother Nature.
Down-dwelling microorganisms, as well as small insects such as dust mites, react negatively to the cold. At low temperatures, tiny creatures begin the wintering process, but the longer the temperature is low, the more likely they are to die gradually.
To effectively ventilate and disinfect pillows or blankets filled with down and feathers, it is necessary to wait for dry and cold weather with a temperature below -5 degrees Celsius.
In the cold, it is recommended to ventilate the laundry according to the principle – the longer, the better, namely, hang blankets in the yard and put pillows in the morning and bring them to the house in the evening or even let them dry around the clock. It must be said that hanging pillows and blankets alone will not be enough – it is recommended to shake or squeeze blankets or pillows every three hours so that the cold can penetrate even the thickest part of the down product and shake off dead insects or dust.
