How do I wash the blanket? As some things can go wrong when washing blankets, you should definitely pay attention to the information on the care label. Most blankets are made of polyester, which should not be washed too hot. It is usually recommended to wash at 30 - 40 °C. Ideally, air dry the blanket after washing or tumble dry at low temperature. Which washing program do I choose? For example, the wool program or the gentle cycle is recommended. A spin at 600 to 800 revolutions is usually quite enough. A colour detergent is suitable as a detergent. Can I use fabric softener? Fabric softener should be avoided. The fibres of the blanket are not made for fabric softeners, so it may not warm properly. Alternatively, you can add a small shot of vinegar to the fabric softener compartment, the vinegar smell will disappear quickly after washing.
