How do you wash a electric blanket?
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009My 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! =)
