Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for washing large textile products such as blankets and carpets.

The structure of conventional examples and their problems In recent years, with the technological innovation of textile materials, there has been a remarkable improvement in the quality of textile products, but at the same time, with the increase in the capacity of household electric washing machines, it has become difficult to wash clothes at home. The number of large textile products such as blankets and carpets that can be made is increasing. It is also true that an increasing number of people are actually washing these items at home instead of taking them to the cleaners. However, when washing large, thick items such as blankets, where the texture of the surface is important, uneven washing can occur.
Partial surface damage has been a problem for some time. For example, recently there are washing machines that can wash blankets, but it is common to wash them by folding them and putting them in a net, or even without a net, folding them to some extent and putting them in the tank. With this method, the exposed parts can be washed well, but the parts that are folded inside can hardly be washed because they are less prone to misalignment. For this reason, the blankets have to be replaced in the middle of washing, but this is quite a difficult task because the blankets absorb water and the space in the washing tub is not very large. As described above, when washing large items, there has been a problem that uneven washing tends to occur within a single piece of cloth or between the front and back sides, and there has been an increasing demand for a solution to this problem.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a cleaning method that causes less uneven washing of large textile products such as blankets and carpets, and at the same time has less influence on the texture of the surface.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the clothing washing method of the present invention is as follows:
A washing sheet made of a porous, elastic, sponge-like material that is bendable and has a moderately uneven surface is used, and this washing sheet is sandwiched between the overlapping parts of folded blankets, etc. It should be washed in a dry state. While washing,
The blankets, etc. move while flipping left and right, but at the same time, the surface of the blanket is pressed against the sponge-like washing sheets that are caught between the overlapping parts of the blankets, or the sponge-like washing sheets are stuck between the overlapping parts of the blankets. Due to the deformation of the blanket, the surface of the blanket is evenly washed with a soft force. −) Just like washing dishes with a sponge held in your hand, the sponge-like washing sheet in contact with the surface of the blanket causes misalignment between the uneven surface and the blanket surface due to the agitation action of the washing machine, causing the surface to become By rubbing against each other, the surface of the blanket can be washed. However, if you rub the surface of the blanket with too much force, it will become hard and the texture will deteriorate, and since the rubbing force is applied, repeated washing will greatly reduce the texture and harden the surface. In this way, in order to prevent the texture of the blanket from deteriorating, it is effective to wash it by pressing the surface with a sponge, and there is no need to worry about uneven washing, and it can also be used to remove extremely dirty areas or stains. If you pre-soak the washing sheet that is applied to the affected area with detergent solution, during washing, only that area will be washed by a sponge containing a thicker washing liquid. It is more effective in increasing the cleaning effect, and compared to applying detergent to the blanket itself.
It is also safe against discoloration and fiber embrittlement.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a sponge-like washing sheet used in a clothes washing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a sponge-like washing sheet made of a porous and elastic material, and has irregularities formed on both sides. In this case, the distance from the ridges on one side to the ridges on the other side, that is, the overall thickness of this sheet, should not be too large because it will be sandwiched between blankets. be. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken from the right side of the washing sheet 1 taken along the dashed line in FIG. In FIG. 2, the peak 2 is a protrusion at the position indicated by the dashed line a, the peak 3 is the protrusion at the position indicated by the chain line a, and the washing sheet 1 is
It has a structure with alternating projections and depressions. Third
In the figure, 4 is a washing tub, 5 is a motor, 6 is a stirring blade, and 7
1 is a detergent solution and rinsing water, and 8 is an object to be washed such as a blanket or a carpet, and sponge-like washing sheets 1 are placed all over between the overlapping parts of the objects to be washed. Furthermore, in FIG. 4, a cross-sectional view of the washing sheet 1 placed between the overlapping parts of 80 items to be washed such as blankets is shown as a model.
Reference numeral 9 denotes a raised portion on the surface of the item 8 to be washed.

The operation of the washing sheet 1 constructed as described above will be explained below. First, when folding the laundry item 8 such as a blanket to a size that can fit into the washing tub 4, fold it so that the washing sheet 1 is always placed between the overlapping parts, and then place it in the washing tub 4. throw into. The washing machine is
It is driven by a mokuro, rotates the stirring blade 6 and generates a water flow to wash the clothes. As a result of the 60 rotations of the agitating blades, the item 8 to be washed, such as a blanket with the washing sheet 1 sandwiched therein, also moves from side to side in response to the water flow, resulting in a normal washing state. Looking at the laundry items 8, when they are initially loaded, they are neatly folded with the washing sheets 1 in between, as shown in Figure 4, but as washing begins, they gradually fold up. , distortion occurs between the laundry item 8 such as a blanket and the washing sheet 1.1. Since the washing sheet 1 is elastic,
As it stretches, shrinks, and curves, it comes into contact with the surface of the laundry object 80 as if it were being massaged. If there is no washing sheet 1 between the items 80 to be washed, the raised portions 9 will be pressed against each other with strong force and become interlocked, resulting in no misalignment and uneven washing. This can cause the texture to deteriorate, or conversely, if misalignment occurs, both sides will be rubbed too hard and the texture will deteriorate.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the surface of the blanket can be washed softly and evenly by sandwiching the washing sheet between the overlapping parts of the blanket and the like.

Next, an example of how to use the washing sheet will be explained with reference to FIG. 6.

First, place a half-sized washing sheet 1 on top of the item 8 to be washed, such as a spread blanket, at the position shown by the dashed line C in FIG.
The laundry item 8 is folded so as to sandwich the washing sheet 1 as shown in FIG. 62. Next, another washing sheet 1 is placed on the outer surface of the folded laundry object, and in this state, the laundry object 8 is wrapped around the washing sheet 1 as shown in FIG. 6. With this method, a washing sheet is always placed between the items to be washed, and the thickness of the sheet is only half the size of the items to be washed. Just throw it in the washing machine in this rolled form and wash it.

In addition, in this embodiment, explanation was given only when the washing sheet is sandwiched between the laundry items and washed in a washing machine, but this washing sheet can also be used when washing in a machine other than the washing machine, for example, when washing a blanket etc. with this washing sheet. It can also be used when walking, such as by sandwiching the washing sheet between blankets or stepping on it with your feet.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides washing by bringing a sponge-like washing sheet, which is porous and highly elastic and has moderate unevenness on the surface, into contact with the object to be washed, such as a blanket. By creating a misalignment between the sponge-like sheet and the surface of the item to be washed, the elasticity of the sponge creates a soft washing effect, and even in the areas in contact,
As a washing method that can be washed evenly and reduces uneven washing, its practical effects are quite impressive.
