Home Solutions 

1 - Choose the right washing machine

Use a front-loading washing machine with a large capacity, with 10.5 kg capacity and 525 mm Super Drum. The larger drum size allows blankets to move freely, ensuring a thorough clean without tangling.

2 - Select the appropriate wash cycle

Many washing machines offer specialized cycles for different fabric types. For blankets, use a gentle or delicate cycle to minimize wear and tear. The model features multiple wash programs.

3 - Use the Refresh cycle

This 15-30 minute cycle uses air and gentle tumbling to remove odors and minimize creases without a full wash. It's particularly useful for delicate or expensive blankets that don't require frequent full washes.

4 - Utilize steam functions for deeper cleaning

If your blanket needs extra care, use the Puri Steam function available in some models. Steam can help remove wrinkles, and eliminate mites and allergens, which is particularly beneficial for blankets.

5 - Optimize spin speed

Use a moderate spin speed to remove excess water without putting too much stress on the blanket fibers. Washing machines with Direct Motion motors offer precise control over spin speeds.

6 - Take advantage of smart features

Use the AI-DBS found in some models to ensure a stable and quiet wash cycle, even with bulky items like blankets. This technology automatically adjusts the washing machine's balance.

7 - Pre-treat stains

Before washing, inspect your blankets for any stains and pre-treat them. Use a gentle stain remover appropriate for the fabric type and gently work it into the stained area.
