Timely, high-quality, home textile care that meets the requirements of the characteristics of the fabric will maximize the life of its active use. It will allow you to enjoy its beauty and functionality for a longer time. It will save time, effort and money - necessary for the selection and purchase of a new product instead of a broken one.
The washing conditions for home textiles are prompted by special designations that are placed on product tags. Any self-respecting manufacturer must add washing data along with information about himself. These icons are not always intuitive. But once you see their logic, they open like a book. All icons are divided into groups and, in a separate group, indicate the particulars of care. Below you will find information regarding the care of IDEIA pillows and blankets.
Temperature mode of washing
Such marking indicates the temperature of the washing, and the number inside is this indicator.

A product marked 30˚C can only be washed in lukewarm water. The filler inside does not withstand higher temperatures and will lose its quality. Don't risk it.
Markings where something is crossed out indicates that the action is prohibited. Accordingly, in this group of icons, it indicates that the product is not intended for washing and should be sanitized by alternative methods.
Dry cleaning and bleaching
Washing is not the only way to care for textiles, for which there are special requirements.
Whitening - yes or no?
Many housewives, especially if the product is white, often tempts to bleach the product so that it becomes like new again. But, do not forget that whitening, in fact, is the effect of chemically active substances. And this procedure must be carried out exactly following the manufacturer's recommendations. In most cases, blankets and pillows cannot be bleached. Since bleach, especially chlorine, deforms the structure of the filler and destroys it. But there are also exceptions.
This icon indicates that the product can be bleached with chlorine-free products.
Such marking warns that the structure of the fabric is not intended to be treated with bleaches - regardless of whether they contain chlorine or not. Found on most home textiles.

Textile and ironing
