Winter has arrived, and it's time to unpack those cozy blankets stored away for months. But if they carry a musty odor, you're not alone—it's a common issue with bulky bedding.
Removing that persistent smell can be tricky due to their size. As home care experts know, a simple, natural solution works wonders: seal the blanket in a bag with baking soda and cornstarch. Here's how.
1. Take a large garbage bag (avoid black ones, as they may contain toxic chemicals).
2. Add 10 tablespoons of baking soda to the bag.
3. Add 10 tablespoons of cornstarch.
4. Place the blanket inside the bag.
5. Seal the bag tightly.
6. Let the powders work for at least 24 hours.
7. Remove the blanket from the bag.
8. Shake it vigorously outdoors to remove all powder residue.
And there you have it! The musty odors are completely gone. Enjoy fresh, odor-free blankets in bed.
Quick, easy, and far more affordable than dry cleaning. This method also works great for wool blankets, duvets, and winter clothing.
