Blankets are types of bedding which are made from a large sized woven cloth. These are being used to make people feel warm, most especially when lying down or sleeping. It will trap the heat from the body of the person, thus, providing heat and warming the body. It can also protect a person from cold due to convection.

Traditionally, most blankets were made out of wool since this is warm, while the bed sheets are made out from linen, cotton, or silk. These materials for the sheets reduce skin irritations. The most common materials today are synthetic fibers for both blankets and sheets. Other purposes of these are for picnics or as an object for comforting small children which is called the minky blanket.

A minky is a fabric type usually used for producing baby accessories, blankets, and clothing. This is more likely the same as fleece, but it is thicker and softer. A fabric of high quality helps for the prevention of color fading and it also help in decreasing the warm.

Before a minky fabric was used for making baby blankets, this is first used for making small stuffed toys, diaper covers, pillows, booties, baby clothes, burp clothes, bibs, and pad covers for changing. From comforting the babies, not it also turns to comforting teenagers and adults and these are called as minky couture. Minky couture provides a luxurious fabric to all ages.

Aside from its use for warming, this may also provide other people on decoration ideas.

A minky is being produced special and as well as durable, so no worries in using washing machines if you wash it. Even when you have washed many times, it would still remain soft like you first hold it. And surely, no one wants to use a lose blanket. And mostly, people have doubts on washing clothes that are thin and soft because it may be torn out after a single wash.

Surely, the children, especially the toddlers love to play with it, dragging it all over and wrapping it around them. So to not make it lose and to maintain its softness, follow these steps when washing. First, separate the blanket from any other type of clothing. You must wash it alone or maybe, together with any blanket which has the same type of cloth as this. Use a laundry detergent and fabric softener when washing. Remember not to use bleach on these.

Second, if there are stains, you remove it through the mixture of baby powder and cornstarch and placing it to the stain overnight before washing it. A dishwashing liquid may be used as well. These methods work when you use cold water for rinsing.

It is better to hang it dry outside when the weather is hot. But you may just use a dryer, just make sure that you set it to low heat. There may be pillings on it and those are not avoided, so remove it using disposable razors or sweater shavers. Use in light pressure so you will not cut the fabric.
