How To Care For Cotton Blankets

Our 100% cotton hand-woven blankets are easy to care for just follow our advice on how to care for cotton blankets guidelines below:

Stain Removal

Spot clean stains immediately with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals. Do not scrub as this may damage the cotton fibres. Ensure all the detergent is removed and dry in the same way that you would dry a sweater: lay the affected area on top of a towel and place another towel on top to absorb excess liquid. Once most of the moisture is removed, hang over a clotheshorse or line to dry. Avoid drying in direct sunlight as the colours on the blanket might fade.

Washing

Take a leaf out of your grandmother’s housekeeping book and only wash your blankets if they are heavily soiled. Our cotton blankets are washable at 30c on a cold wash and rinse and the lowest spin cycle. Wash separately in a large machine and use a mild liquid detergent. We recommend washing blankets with pom poms inside an old duvet cover to protect the pom poms.

To dry fold flat and sandwich between two towels to remove excess moisture. You will need to change the towels a few times. Once most of the moisture has been removed hang out to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Alternatively, use a dryer on a delicate, low heat setting.

Our cotton blankets can be dry cleaned.

Ironing

Use a steam iron to remove creases.

Storage

When not in use store in an airtight bag or container.
