Wash Heavy Blankets Safely: Avoid Machine Damage & Blanket Ruin!

• Always check the 'Care Label' for washing instructions; 'Only Dry Clean' means no home machine washing.
• Verify your washing machine's capacity; blankets should move freely to prevent motor strain and ensure proper cleaning.
• Use cold or lukewarm water and mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals and fabric softeners to protect blanket fibers.
• Select 'Gentle' or 'Wool' wash cycles and a slow or medium spin setting to prevent machine imbalance and fabric damage.
• Air dry blankets in the shade or a well-ventilated area; avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading and stiffness.
