How to Clean a Throw Blanket
Cleaning a throw blanket is easy once you know the settings. This guide covers the care instructions for our printed sherpa blankets: a soft polyester front and a plush sherpa fleece back, made of 100% polyester.
What setting to wash a blanket on
Machine wash your blanket separately, in cold water (maximum 30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. That is the setting to choose whether you wash a couch throw, a photo blanket or a baby blanket.
How to dry a blanket in the dryer
Tumble dry on low heat. Take the blanket out when it is dry and give it a good shake to bring the plush sherpa side back to life.
What to avoid
- Do not use bleach.
- Do not iron the blanket.
- Do not dry clean.
How to clean a baby blanket
A baby blanket follows the same care instructions: wash separately on a cold, gentle cycle and tumble dry low.
