The Best Way To Wash A Fleece Blanket
By JULIANA LUMAJ
There’s nothing worse than washing your favorite fleece blanket and it comes out looking like a matted rag. If you don’t wash fleece correctly, the color can quickly fade and it’ll become unusable, but luckily, there’s an easy way to wash fleece so that it stays in its perfect condition.
If you haven’t washed your fleece blanket because you’re worried about pilling or matting, this hack will save your cozy cover-up. The first step to washing a fleece blanket is to separate it from other items and place it in the wash, then use cold water and a small amount of detergent so the blanket maintains its softness.
Stay away from bleach as it will ruin the blanket’s color and cause it to fall apart. After washing your blanket in cold water, you can let it air dry or place it in the dryer with low or no heat, but high heat will make your blanket shrink and possibly melt.
