How to care and wash blankets

1. Start by placing the blanket in a washtub filled with lukewarm water (around 20°C). Add a neutral soap tablet or a mild detergent, and make sure the blanket is fully soaked. Gently squeeze out the excess water, then use your hands to rub the blanket gently in the soapy water. Wash it thoroughly and rinse several times until all the soap is removed. 2. If the blanket is made of pure wool, add about one or two tablespoons of white vinegar during the final rinse. This helps restore its softness and makes it look as bright and fresh as new. 3. After rinsing, roll the blanket up in a clean towel and press gently to remove any remaining water. Then, use a soft brush to fluff and reshape the blanket back into its original form. 4. When drying, hang the blanket between two parallel bamboo rods or hangers. Place it in a shaded area to dry slowly. Avoid direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause fading, discoloration, or deformation of the fabric. 5. Once the blanket is completely dry, give it a final brushing to restore its soft texture and fluffy appearance. This step ensures it feels as comfortable and inviting as it did when you first bought it. By following these steps, you can keep your blanket looking and feeling great for years to come. Always check the care label on your specific blanket before washing, as some materials may require special attention. Regular cleaning and proper drying will help maintain the quality and longevity of your favorite blanket.
