My kids electric blanket has no tag for info. Anyone done this before? Please fill me in!!!!!!
You can ask a dry cleaner if they can do it for you, if you really don’t want to ruin it if it’s expensive. If it were just me though, I would be fine washing it on low spin in a washing machine, and letting it air dry. I do the same thing for my warming blanket (and expensive sweat shirts) because they can’t be put in the dryer.
You could also try to seal any exposed wires if you want, but the as long as the blanket is dried right away, and not sitting in water for a long time, nothing should rust -and as far as my experience with cellphones, mp3 players, and other electronics, a little water in the washing machine, or the occasional toilet water, never hurt anyone.
Keep warm! =)

I was just curious as to the chances of receiving an electric shock from an electric blanket that had had a small amount of liquid spilt on it.
I remember as a child being warned repeatedly NOT to put any liquid near my electric blanket.
Since I assume that out of thousands of electric blankets, at least some must come in contact with liquid, does anyone know the actual chances of this?
all the wires in modern blankets are well coated and not exposed to get wet,the manufacturers are afraid of being sued as abviously some kids and even adults will spill things on blankeds occasionally,if it’s not damaged,it’s most likely ok,however it wouldn’t hurt to let it dry of course
