How should I clean and store the blanket?
Gentle care goes a long way. Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, so it doesn’t need frequent washing like other fabrics. We suggest spot-cleaning when possible and giving your blanket a good shake now and then to keep the fibers lively. If a deeper clean is needed, our blankets and bed covers can be machine washable on the gentle cycle in cold water with a natural detergent, or even a simple mix of vinegar and baking soda. To dry, hang outside or use the delicate setting in the dryer. They can also be dry-cleaned. When not in use, store your blanket in the linen bag that can be purchased along with the blanket.
