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.

Address the affected area as soon as practical.
