Blanket Care Guide

Super Plush Microfibre Blankets

Washing Instructions

• Machine wash in cold water on a gentle or delicate cycle to prevent fibre damage.
• Wash separately from other items to avoid pilling and colour transfer.
• Use mild detergent only.
• Avoid fabric softeners, optical brighteners, and bleach (these can damage the fine filament structure and reduce softness).

Drying

• Tumble dry on low heat only.
• Avoid high heat (it can melt microfibre fibres together and permanently destroy softness and loft).
• Remove promptly from the dryer to prevent wrinkles.
• For commercial laundering, ensure low-temperature drying and adequate ventilation.

Stain Removal

• Treat stains immediately for best results.
• For fresh spills: blot with a damp cloth and mild detergent solution.
• For set-in stains: pre-soak in cold water with mild detergent for 24–48 hours before washing.
• Use a gentle enzyme cleaner for stubborn stains.
• Always test on a hidden area first.

Deodorising

• Air the blanket regularly in a well-ventilated space or outdoors.
• Sprinkle baking soda over the surface, leave for 15–30 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly.
• This naturally refreshes the blanket without chemicals.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight.
• Fold loosely to prevent permanent creasing.
• Use a breathable storage bag to protect from dust.
• Avoid prolonged compression.
• Rotate blankets regularly to ensure even wear.
