The Best Tips For Washing Your Throw Blankets

 Whether you have a Pendleton throw blanket, fleece blanket, electric throw or any other type of throw, it is important to ensure your throw is always clean. We will show you a few tips on how to wash your throws so that they may stay clean and cozy all the time.

A lot of people neglect the cleanliness of their throws. But if you imagine the gross things that your throw comes into contact with, you will change your mind. Things such as food crumbs, pet hair, household dust, drink spills, hair products and body oils come into contact with your throw.

The amount of grime lurking in the folds of your throw is astounding. You should clean your throw from time to time to get the most out of its comfort.

Washing wool throws

Pendleton throw blankets online are made of wool. Because wool throws repel stains and dirt, you need to wash them a few times a year. Between washes, you should refresh your wool throw by brushing it with the right fabric brush and shaking it out to remove debris and dirt. To prevent damage to the fibers of the throw, you should brush in the same direction.

Check the care instruction from the manufacturer before washing your wool throw. If the throw is machine washable then you should use cold water to wash it. Make sure you use a wool-safe detergent.
Place the throw into the machine and let it soak in the detergent and water solution for about fifteen minutes. Select a gentle cycle on the washing machine and let it run for about 2 minutes before switching to a rinse cycle.

After the process is complete, hang your Pendleton throw blanket to dry. Avoid direct sunlight because it can cause the colors of the fabrics to fade.
