Blanket Care Guide

Caring for Your SharpTrim Blanket

Proper care can help maintain your blanket's softness, appearance, and useful life.

Because different fabrics and textile constructions require different cleaning methods, always review the specific care label before washing, drying, ironing, or applying cleaning products.

The following recommendations are general guidelines and should not replace product-specific instructions.

1. Check the Fabric and Care Label

Before cleaning your blanket, review the manufacturer's instructions.

Different materials may require different methods:

• Fleece blankets may benefit from gentle washing and low-temperature drying where permitted.

• Plush blankets may require careful handling to maintain their texture.

• Knitted blankets may need gentle washing to help preserve their shape.

• Lightweight fabrics may require specific drying methods depending on their fibers.

Always follow the instructions supplied with your particular product.

2. Washing Recommendations

Where permitted by the care label:

• Wash similar colors together.

• Use a mild detergent.

• Select a gentle washing cycle.

• Use cold or lukewarm water when recommended.

• Avoid bleach unless specifically permitted.

• Avoid overcrowding the washing machine.

Washing only when reasonably necessary can help reduce unnecessary fabric wear.

3. Drying Your Blanket

Follow the drying instructions supplied with your product.

Depending on the material, your blanket may require:

• Air drying.

• Flat drying.

• Low-temperature tumble drying.

Avoid excessive heat, which may contribute to shrinkage, fiber damage, or changes in softness and texture.

Ensure the blanket is completely dry before folding or storing it.

4. Preserving Softness and Texture

To help maintain a comfortable feel:

• Avoid using excessive detergent.

• Do not use unnecessarily high washing temperatures.

• Avoid high-heat drying unless specifically permitted.

• Use fabric softener only when appropriate for the material.

• Shake and gently straighten the blanket after drying.

Some fleece and plush materials may be especially sensitive to high heat or rough handling.

5. Removing Small Stains

For minor stains:

• Address the affected area as soon as practical.

• Gently blot with a clean, soft cloth.

• Avoid aggressive rubbing.

• Follow the product's cleaning instructions.

• Test suitable cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first where appropriate.

For persistent stains or delicate materials, professional cleaning may be advisable.

6. Proper Storage

Before storing your blanket:

• Make sure it is clean.

• Allow it to dry completely.

• Fold it neatly.

• Store it in a clean, dry, well-ventilated location.

• Keep it away from excessive moisture and prolonged direct sunlight.

Avoid storing blankets in damp environments.

7. Everyday Maintenance

To help maintain your blanket's appearance:

• Keep it away from sharp objects.

• Avoid excessive heat.

• Do not pull loose threads.

• Shake out and straighten the blanket after use.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommended care instructions.
