2. Machine Settings - Set your washing machine to a gentle cycle and use only cold water.

3. Wash Options - Your blanket can be cleaned with a small drop of mild detergent. Do not use Bleach.

4. Drying Options - After washing, hang your blanket up to dry or toss them in the dryer on a low cycle with low heat. High heat may cause your blanket to shrink or destroy the fibers.
