Hollofiber - a material consisting of springy fibers glued together by high temperature. Thanks to the convenience, softness and low price, products filled with holofiber are becoming a frequent choice for customers. How to wash such a blanket: in a washing machine or still prefer a manual method of washing? In this article we will find out how to erase holofiber correctly.
Pros and cons of holofiber
The material has several advantages over fluff, feather and sintepon fillers:
- The springy structure allows you to keep the shape perfectly and not go astray.

Features washing holofiber
To refresh the blanket, remove impurities and restore the aesthetic appearance, you need a wash. Filler manufacturers do not recommend washing products in a washing machine. But, having tried many ways, experienced housewives argue the opposite. You can wash the holofiber, but you need to act carefully. Before you start washing, make sure that your washing machine is suitable for this procedure. The blanket should fit easily in the washing drum. This will not be a problem for machines with a capacity of 6 kg or more. It is also very important that the AGR includes one of the programs:

We suggest you follow the following instructions to successfully wash a blanket in a washer:
- Check if the blanket is torn. If there are holes, be sure to sew them, otherwise the product may burst even more during washing.
- Send the blanket to the drum of the machine.
