1. The process is protracted, so you need to prepare for it. Find out what is the best way to wash your fluffy blanket and what products are suitable for this. By default, we use warm water and a little washing powder.
2. Fill the bathroom with warm water that is comfortable for the skin and put a blanket in it. The water should cover it completely, it doesn't need to float. Do not add a lot of powder, because then it will be more difficult to wash it.
3. Now climb into the bathroom with your feet, for ten minutes the rug will need to "trample" and "chat". That's what rubber boots are for. What if you want to add a drop of Fairy to remove stains? However, if you are not worried about the skin of your legs, then you can go barefoot.

4. Take out the plug, let the dirty water drain properly. Give me twenty minutes. Then fill up the water again, you can wrinkle the blanket with your hands a little and so on until the water is clear. Leave for half an hour, let it drain.
5. Now put it next to the bathroom, grab the blanket by one edge and throw it over the side so that one half remains in the bathroom, and the other is in the basin. Using sticks, spread the blanket as much as possible and leave it until morning, let it drain.
6. If there is no pelvis, then use only sticks. Two are enough to support them on the sides of the bathroom and put a blanket. But the more, the better, so the blanket will part with moisture much more efficiently.
7. In the morning, it can be transferred to a rope or to a prepared dryer. By this time, it will already be possible to lift it without the risk of tearing its back. Done!
