The Dhaka Times Desk By the end of winter, the blanket will be sparkling clean without a washing machine. Coating, on the other hand, is completely different. Its cover can be cleaned and kept very easily.
Blankets, as essential as they are in winter, become a major nuisance when they don't get a little warm. This work goes on sheets or thin sheets. But the blanket must be cleaned before taking it, so we often put it in the washing machine or in the store, but did you know that if you adopt a simple method, your home blanket will be perfectly clean?
If using multiple blankets at home, clean them one at a time. The reason is that it takes some time to clean them. Of course, if the weather is sunny, these tips should be followed. Take a pot of hot water. Mix well with one spoon of vinegar, one spoon of shampoo, one spoon of comfort.
Then fill a spray bottle with water. Then a collar scrubbing brush or if a light combing brush is in the house, the blanket should be placed well on top of the bed to get a large plastic. Then spray water little by little in the hand spray bottle, clean it well with that brush.
You will see that the blanket will be slightly wet. When one back is done, the other should be cleaned in the same way. Then leave it in wet conditions in the strong sun for at least 4 to 5 hours. You will see that the blanket will shine beautifully. Then put the blanket in a plastic bag (thick polythene) and keep it tightly tied. And for your coating, just clean the cover. You can keep it in the cupboard and cover it in a polythene bag with some naphthalene and put it on the false ceiling.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
