As the days start to cool down, we find ourselves pulling out our trusty blankets to cuddle up in. However, if not taken care of properly, they can get damaged quickly and lose their softness and freshness. Here are some simple tips that will help keep your blankets soft and fresh this season:

1. Air Out Routinely

Place the blanket in sunlight or fresh air twice a week. This will remove germs, unwanted odors, and keep the blanket fresh.

2. Wash on Gentle Cycle

Whenever you wash the blanket make sure to use a mild detergent. Using too much detergent can fade the color of the blanket. Avoid hot water to reduce risk of shrinkage and softness, and always wash on gentle cycle to prevent snags and harsh maneuvering of the fabric. 

3. Dry on Low

Do not dry the blanket on high heat in a dryer. Instead let it dry naturally in sunlight. High heat can shrink or roughen the fabric. Alternatively, you can dry your blanket on low in the dryer to keep from damaging the fabric.

4. Check the Care label

Every blanket has a different care label depending on its fabric and the necessary care associated with it. Always be sure to read the care label on your blanket before you go about washing your linens. This will increase longevity and enhance the softness.

5. Storage

When the season ends, wash your blanket and store it in a fabric bag or pouch. This protects it from any moisture, sunlight damage and keeps it fresher longer.
