Velsoft blankets

Taking care of his coziness and comfort, a person chooses natural fabrics for clothing, bedding, bedspreads and blankets. And it is right. It is warm, hygroscopic, breathable. However, synthetics also have certain advantages. Especially popular are blankets from the velsoft.

In 1976, Japanese scientists developed a new type of synthetic fiber - velsoft. It is also called microfiber. These are ultra-thin fibers with a diameter of 0.06 mm. The raw material is polyester, which is stratified into thinner threads (from 8 to 25 micron threads from each initial). Human hair is 100 times thicker than such fiber; cotton, silk, wool - dozens of times.

Microniti connected in a bundle form a large number of cavities that are filled with air.This unusual structure allows microfibre to have unique properties. The chemical composition is polyamide with a density of 350 g per meter squared. When studying the label you will see the inscription "100% polyester."

There are a lot of microfiber-like fabrics. Externally velsoft looks like a short short velor. However, it is softer, much more pleasant to the touch. Velor is made from natural cotton or filaments with artificial fibers. From it sew not only home, but also top, festive clothes.

Velsoft classified by:

1. pile height (blankets with a minimum height - ultrasoft);
2. pile density;
3. the degree of softness;
4. the number of working parties (single or double sided);
5. view finishes and texture of fur (plaids are popular with imitation under the skin of the beast).

By color variety microfiber is:

• monophonic: the fabric can be both bright colors, and pastel, but without patterns and ornaments;
• printed: fabric with a pattern, ornament, photo;
• coarse: these are large patterns in the whole plaid.

This type of polyester is distinguished by the following properties, which allow to speak about the advantages over other fabrics:

• Antibacterial - being a synthetic material, it is of no interest for moth larvae and bacteriological fungi. Your blanket does not have to constantly air.

• Security - fabric production complies with international standards for testing textiles Eco Tex, it is recognized as suitable for use as home textiles and clothing. Manufacturers use safe and resistant dyes, there are no extraneous odors.
• Air permeability - this is a hygienic breathable fabric, under such a rug the body will be very comfortable.
• Pile not subject to the formation of pellets, which means that you can use your bedspread on the sofa or bed for a very long time.
• Hypoallergenic - being a dust-repellent material, velsoft is suitable for use by young children and allergies.

• Hygroscopicity: the fabric absorbs moisture, which remains in the fibers for a long time.It will be uncomfortable to lie under such a rug, but after washing this material dries very quickly.
• Products are not subject to deformation, stretching and shrinkage.
• Softness, tenderness, lightness, as in the production of each micronite was treated with a special high-tech composition, and the cavities between them are filled with air, making the blanket bulky.

• It is not subject to a molt when washing, paints remain bright as long as possible.
• Strength - quietly maintains numerous machine washings.
• Excellent thermoregulation - under the blanket of the velsoft you will quickly warm up and it will keep you warm for a long time.

In addition, microfiber rugs are inexpensive, easy to care for, pleasant to use. Due to its lightness such blankets are very popular among travelers and lovers of outdoor recreation. The fabric is fluffy and fluffy, but it can be easily folded into a car or travel bag. When unfolding, you will find that it is almost not wrinkled. Shake the rug - and the villi will again become fluffy.

If it is time to buy a blanket, decide on the purpose: for home, for a car (travel), for a picnic. From this will depend on the type of plaid.

Choosing a blanket for home use, decide on its functionality: it covers the bed or sofa, “sheltered” for you and your family members. Decide whether you will use it in the bedroom, in the common room or in the nursery. Answer yourself one more question: what kind of blanket will fit the interior of your house (monophonic or colored).

Road blanket should not be very large, non-marking, such products take up little space.

A picnic blanket should be large, but without traces of food and land. The ideal option is the Scottish style (on the cells of different colors it is difficult to notice both ketchup and grass).

Do not forget about the size. For newborns, they choose blankets with a size of 75 × 75 cm, 75 × 90 cm or 100 × 120 cm. For preschoolers, choose a size of 110 × 140 cm, and for children of primary school age, it is 130 × 160 or 140 × 205 cm.

The plaid for the car is produced in the size 140 × 200 cm. The plaid for the bed depends on the size of the sleeping bed: for a teenager - 170 × 200 cm, for a single bed - 180 × 220 cm, euro will fit on a sofa or double bed (size - 220 × 240 cm).Very large blankets can be used for non-standard beds and corner sofas.

When making a purchase, check the quality of staining of the fabric. Rub it with a white napkin. If there are traces on the napkin, it means that then they will remain on you. Check how well the fabric is dyed at the base of the villi.

Pay attention to the density and softness of the pile. If it is a velsoft with a long nap, spread the villi apart, then shake the rug and see how quickly it will recover.

Velsoft pleasantly pleases with its unpretentiousness in care. Remember a few simple rules:

1. Microfiber does not like hot water - 30 degrees is enough for washing.
2. It is better to use liquid detergents so that the powder granules do not get stuck in the villi.
3. Bleach can damage the dyed fabric and change the structure of the fabric.
4. Products do not require ironing. If necessary, iron the material with a slightly warm iron on the reverse side.
5. If a pile is taken, hold it over the steam.
