Blanket Care Instructions

How to Care for Your Blanket

For acrylic blend, proper care will help your blanket stay soft, cozy, and beautiful for years to come.

🌿 Regularly Care Tips

  • Shake or air out regularly to refresh.

  • Avoid frequent washing—natural fibers are self-cleaning.

  • Store dry in a breathable cotton bag or on an open shelf (avoid plastic storage).

  • Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve color and texture.

🧼 Washing Instructions 

  • Machine wash on a gentle or delicate cycle in cold water using mild detergent.

  • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

  • Do not wring or twist. Gently press out excess water.

  • Hang or lay flat to dry—do not tumble dry.

  • Reshape while damp and allow to air dry completely before use.

  • Dry cleaning is also safe and recommended for long-term care.

✨ Refresh & Storage

  • Use a soft clothing brush or fabric shaver to remove light pilling.

  • Steam lightly to refresh fibers—avoid direct ironing.

  • When storing long-term, ensure your blanket is completely dry and folded loosely to prevent creasing.
