Washing instructions for your WTW Blankets
-
Machine wash in COLD water. Putting heat on the blanket will melt the blanket's fibers together and your blanket will lose its softness.
-
For best results, wash alone
-
We recommend using regular liquid or powder detergent when washing. Pods are not recommended to use on your blankets.
-
NO fabric softener. Minky Blanket fibers are very fine. If the blanket is washed with fabric softener, the water has a hard time pulling the softener from the blanket fibers. It will get trapped between the fibers and harden when it dries, leaving your blanket feeling crusty.
-
Hang it to dry, then put it in the dryer on an AIR setting only to fluff it up. Again, there can't be any heat or it will melt the material.
-
Do not dry clean. Do not iron. Do not bleach.
*** Always wash your minky blanket ONLY by itself.
Do not wash with any other items in that load.
FAQ's
🧵Can I wash my minky blanket in the washing machine?
Yes, you can wash your minky blanket in the washing machine, but don’t just toss it in with your regular load—the blanket will require extra care to preserve the ultra-soft feel of the fabric. 🤍 Be sure to wash your blanket on cold-delicate cycle, don’t use fabric softener, and hang to dry or tumble dry with no heat.
🧶What temperature should I use to wash my blanket?
Minky blankets should be washed in cold water. If you’re putting your blanket in the washing machine, choose the cold-delicate cycle.
🧵What if I accidentally use fabric softener to wash my minky blanket?
Accidents happen! We certainly know how that goes. Washing your minky blanket with fabric softener may take away some of the softness of your blanket, but you can try to bring back that softness by washing your blanket in cold water and vinegar (do not add laundry detergent). 🤍 We cannot guarantee that this will bring back the original feel of the blanket, but it’s worth a try!
🧶What kind of detergent can I use on my blanket?
Choose laundry detergent that is free of dyes, scents, and other additives when washing your minky blanket. These products can make your blanket feel gummy and will cause a build-up on the fabric over time. 🤍 Detergents labeled 'sensitive skin' or 'eco-friendly' are probably the safest bet. You can also choose to skip the detergent and wash your blanket using ¼ cup of baking soda and ⅓ cup of white vinegar.
🧵How should I dry my blanket?
Once your minky blanket has finished washing, you can dry it by hanging it up or by selecting to tumble dry with no heat. If you choose the tumble-dry option, add dryer sheets without fabric softeners in them, or wool balls to help minimize static.
