Material - Specific Care Guides
(Pro tip: Always check the label first!)
1. Wool Blankets: Gentle Giants
- Wash: Hand wash only in lukewarm water with wool - friendly detergent (avoid harsh chemicals!). For small stains, spot - clean with a damp cloth.
- Dry: Lay flat on a towel to air dry—never hang, as it stretches the fibers. Sunlight? Avoid direct 暴晒，or risk fading.
- Storage: Fold loosely in a breathable cotton bag with cedar chips (say no to mothballs!).
Fun fact: Wool naturally resists odors—you can wash it 2-3 times a year max!
2. Cotton Blankets: The Everyday Hero
- Wash: Machine wash in warm water (40°C) with mild detergent. Pre - treat stains with vinegar or baking soda.
- Dry: Tumble dry on low heat—overdrying causes stiffness. Add a dryer ball for extra fluff!
- Revive: If it feels crunchy, add 1 cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle.
Life hack: Freeze your cotton blanket for 24 hours to kill dust mites!
3. Fleece Blankets: Pill - Prevention Pro
- Wash: Cold water + gentle cycle (hot water causes pilling!). Skip fabric softener—it coats fibers.
- Dry: Air dry or low heat. Fluff by hand to prevent clumping.
- Fix Pills: Use a fabric shaver or pumice stone—no scissors!
Pro move: Turn it inside out before washing to protect the fuzzy side.
4. Down Blankets: Loft Guardians
- Wash: Professional clean every 1-2 years, or hand wash in a bathtub with down detergent. Rinse thoroughly—detergent residue kills loft.
- Dry: Tumble dry on low with 2-3 clean tennis balls (yes, really!) to fluff the down. Add a dryer sheet for static control.
- Storage: Store loosely in a duffle bag—never vacuum - seal!
Common mistake: Don’t hang dry—wet down loses its insulating power.
5.Everyday Care Hacks
- Weekly: Shake out dust and pet hair (outdoors if possible!).
- Monthly: Flip your bed blanket to evenly distribute wear.
- Stains: Act fast! Blot (don’t rub) water - based stains; for oil, sprinkle baking soda and let sit 30 mins.
- Smells: Freshen with a DIY spray (1 part water + 1 part vodka + 5 drops lavender oil).
❌ What NOT to Do
❌ Overwash synthetic blankets—they lose warmth over time.
❌ Use bleach on colored blankets (hello, fading!).
