How to wash your weighted blanket or lap pad
Care Instructions
Are your blankets machine washable?
Yes, Sensory Sam weighted blankets are machine-washable.
We recommend separating the inner and the outer blanket and washing them separately on a gentle cycle.
Wash inner alone in washing machine, Be aware different washing machines have different weight restrictions. Hand washing in a bath tub is also an option if your machine can’t handle the weight.
Please zip zipper of cover all the way up before washing and drying, as it could get dammaged or the teeth could damage other clothes
Wash the blankets at 30 C or less and always use gentle detergents.
DO NOT add fabric softeners (they will ruin the minky fabric).
DO NOT use bleach, dry cleaning materials, or iron weighted blankets.
Although our blankets are safe to tumble dry, we advise not to do that too frequently because it could cause the integrity of the fabrics to deteriorate.
For best results dry flat in the shade.
Take good care of your weighted blanket no matter what material it is made from, and you will enjoy its soothing comfort for many years to come.
