We often receive questions about maintaining and washing the weighted blanket. To make this process as easy as possible, we have compiled a number of tips for you in this article.

Washing a weighted blanket

A weighted blanket can be washed in your washing machine. Check in advance how much weight your washing machine can handle (this is often around 7 kilos). If your weighted blanket weighs 7 kg or less, you can wash it in the washing machine. Wash your weighted blanket on a gentle program with a maximum temperature of 40 degrees.

How can you wash heavier blankets?

Do you have a heavier weighted blanket than your washing machine can handle? For example, a double weighted blanket? Then you need to wash it by hand.

Inspect your weighted blanket and look for stains that are difficult to remove, such as sweat or food stains. Try rinsing the stains out of the weighted blanket. Do you have a stubborn stain? Then remove it with a little liquid detergent. Rinse cold water over the spot where the stain is, and gently and softly rub it. Then you can wash the entire blanket with a hand wash solution, using (lukewarm) water. Wring out the excess water from the weighted blanket after washing.

How can I dry my weighted blanket?

The weighted blanket must be dried flat after washing (by hand or in the washing machine) and must not go in the dryer. The glass beads remain evenly distributed this way. This is important because these glass beads ensure that the weight of the blanket remains well distributed. Turn the weighted blanket every few hours until your weighted blanket is completely dry.

Washing weighted blanket cover

By using a cover for your weighted blanket, you can easily wash your weighted blanket. You only need to remove the cover and put it in the washing machine. A weighted blanket cover can always go in your washing machine and can be washed at a maximum of 40 degrees.

Note!

Only wash when necessary to maintain quality. Also, pay attention to the following points:

  • Avoid spin cycles & fast programs (prefer hand wash)
  • Do not hang your weighted blanket to dry (always let it dry flat)
  • Do not use heavy bleach / cleaning agents
  • Do not use fabric softeners
