With just familiar items and simple operations, the cotton blanket in particular or the bed area in general will become warmer.

In recent days, the Northern and Central provinces of our country have been affected by an increasingly strong cold wave. The average temperature drops below 20 degrees Celsius. There are even cold areas where the temperature drops sharply at night and early morning, with some localities recording temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius.

On cold days, many families have to use additional warming methods in their homes, especially families with young children and the elderly. These include equipping and using space heating equipment such as heaters, heating fans, heating modes of 2-way air conditioners, heating lamps in the bathroom, toilet or electric blankets for the bed area. .

However, for the bed area, Tang Aboluowang recently showed one more tip to keep warm, without the intervention of electrical equipment.

This bed warming treatment is simply done with a familiar household item – a dryer. And the execution time is also extremely quick, only lasting about 2 – 3 minutes.

The article on Aboluowang explains that because the bed or blanket in winter, after a few hours without anyone using it, it will quickly get cold. Therefore, keeping warm is very necessary, helping people avoid the feeling of “heat shock”.

The specific way to clean blankets and bed sheets with a dryer is as follows:

– First, the user starts the dryer, selects the hot or warm drying mode and then begins to lift the blanket, letting the warm air from the dryer blow under the blanket.

– Users should not let the dryer blow at high temperature continuously on one position of the blanket. Instead, change positions flexibly, from the beginning of the blanket, the middle of the blanket to the end of the blanket.

– Move the dryer flexibly in every corner so that the blanket is evenly heated.

After just a few minutes, maybe 2-3 minutes, or longer if the blanket size is large, the bed area has become significantly warmer. The ideal time to perform this warming method is before going to bed.

Besides heating blankets and bed areas, this method can also be applied to clothes to increase the warmth of the clothes.

There are different methods to warm the bed

Besides the method of using a dryer, families can refer to a few other methods to help make the bed warmer in winter, thereby better protecting human health.

1. Change bedding material

In winter or cold days, bed sheets or blankets made only of cotton will not be enough to keep the user warm. Experts advise that you should consider thicker materials such as felt, cotton or sheep’s wool or artificial rabbit fur. Thickness and high fiber density will help these types of blankets and sheets effectively keep people warm.

When buying blankets and sheets, users can also refer to whether they have a “Tog” value or not. “Tog” is a unit of measurement for the heat-insulating ability of blankets and sheets. Choosing a type with a high “Tog” index means it will help ensure better heat retention.

2. Place warm items under the blanket

The next method is similar to the method of using a dryer to blow warm air onto the blanket. That is to place warm items under the blanket, from there the warmth from these items will spread to the entire bed area.

Two items that families use are heating bags or a hot water bottle with a securely screwed cap. However, in order for these items to be effective in warming them, they should be placed a long time before going to bed and must be placed in a quantity of 3-4 heating bags/warm water bottles if the blanket size is large.

3. Use electric blankets and mattresses

The most modern method to help the bed be heated quickly and effectively is to equip it with electric blankets and electric mattresses. However, when choosing to buy, users need to refer to products that ensure quality, have clear origins, and come from reputable brands to avoid risks and incidents, especially about electricity during use.
