Over the past few years, many people have come to enjoy their weighted blankets. No matter the weight, the feeling you get when one is on top of you is hard to beat. You feel more relaxed, less stressed – it’s as if there’s this overwhelming sense of peace covering you. One question is still up in the air, though … how do you clean a weighted blanket?
Weighted blankets are filled with a variety of things, from plastic beads to sand and everything in between. When you’re talking about a 14- to 25-pound weighted blanket (or even heavier), cleaning it properly becomes somewhat of a chore. This is why it’s important to learn the right way to clean a weighted blanket.
Any type of bedding you purchase will have instructions on how to clean it. Weighted blankets are no exception. Most weighted blankets come with one of the following instructions:
There really is no one right way to clean a weighted blanket, but there are a lot of wrong ways. Considering some weighted blankets can weigh 50 pounds, it’s good know to that anything heavier than 25 pounds probably shouldn’t be put in the washer or dryer. This is not only for the good of your blanket, but also for the good of your appliances. Remember, 25 pounds is roughly the equivalent in heaviness to a car tire.
As long as you follow the instructions on the weighted blanket or, if you can’t find those instructions, look up the cleaning instructions on the website of the company that makes the weighted blanket. It will be there.
A weighted blanket can provide you with a lot of physical and mental help, but only as long as you take care of it.
