Blanket Care
Proper Care for Your Luxury Blanket
Our luxury blankets are made of 100% sturdy, yet delicate polyester fibers that are sensitive to oils and chemicals. How you wash and care for your blankets will determine their beautiful life. Caring for your blanket and washing it less often and only when necessary is best.
WASH:
Delicate cycle
Cold water
Separately or with other Minky blankets
NEVER use Fabric Softener (Minky fabrics are already naturally soft, using fabric softener causes the delicate fibers to stick together with an oily substance reducing softness)
No Pods
Do not Dry Clean
Use "Sensitive Skin", "Eco-Friendly", Dreft or Tide Original detergent
Less is more when it comes to detergent. You may only need a couple tablespoons depending on your washer.
Some Organic or Natural detergents have fabric softener so be sure to check the ingredients. Deeper pigmented colors such as reds could possibly bleed. Washing before use might be necessary.
DRY:
Air or tumble dry
Never use heat
Use Dryer balls (wool) or a balled up piece of Aluminum foil.
Fluff in a heatless dryer cycle for about 10 minutes and then hang dry.
No Fabric Softener. Some fabric softener sheets will contain many oils that will harm your blanket.
REMOVING STATIC:
Washing with White Vinegar can help to reduce static and built up oils to keep your blanket looking and feeling soft. 1/2 to 1 cup should suffice.
Static remover by dryer, so place blanket in dryer on AIR cycle (no heat) with a couple damp rags. Do this for about 10 minutes or so until static is gone (too much dryer time can cause more static). Do not use fabric softener.
You can also try Dryer balls (wool) or a balled up piece of Aluminum foil to reduce static.
Some Minky fibers (from after cutting the fabric to make your luxurious blankets) have a tendency to "cling" due to static. Upon receiving your blanket, you can follow the Air cycle and damp rag steps above and your dryer should help remove them for you. However, we will do our best to remove all clingy fibers before your blanket is shipped.
