Question

How to wash a weighted blanket?

Answer 1

Avoiding high heat is the best way to reduce fading on a weighted blanket. Use cold water and low heat settings when washing and drying your blanket. Additionally, avoid direct sunlight as this can cause fading—let your weighted blanket air-dry in a well-ventilated indoor area

Answer 2

To wash a weighted blanket, you should check the care instructions on the label first. Most weighted blankets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. It is recommended to wash the blanket alone to prevent damage to the washing machine or the blanket itself. After washing, hang the blanket to air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric and the weighted filling.
