Which blankets can be washed in a machine?
Most synthetic, bamboo, and thin cotton blankets are suitable for machine washing. Wool, down, and silk products require delicate care and may get damaged with improper treatment. Always check the label for the manufacturer's recommendations before washing.
How to properly wash a blanket?
— Choose a gentle washing mode at a temperature no higher than 30–40°C.
— Use liquid detergents that rinse out well.
— Run an additional rinse cycle to completely remove detergent residues.
— Spin at low speeds (up to 600) to avoid deformation.
How to dry after washing?
The best method is to dry it outdoors in a horizontal position. If using a tumble dryer, select a delicate mode with low temperature. Down and synthetic fillers can be periodically shaken to ensure even distribution.
How to care for a blanket to avoid washing it too often?
— Regularly air the blanket outdoors.
— Use a duvet cover to protect it from dirt.
— If there are no significant stains, freshen the blanket using a steamer or dry cleaning.
By following these recommendations, you will extend the lifespan of your blanket and keep its original appearance for a long time.
