To wash blankets in the machine, check how much capacity the washing machine comes with.
If you are washing the blanket in the washing machine, turn it up and down two-three times before drying it.
The winter season is now slowly retreating, and very soon the scorching sun will start bothering you. Now it is not so hot that the AC or fan should be used for long, but it is also not so cold that one should wear a thick blanket. Now it’s time to put the blankets and warm clothes back. But before keeping the blanket, everyone wants that its cleanliness should be taken care of and before packing it, it should be given to dry cleaning. Now when it comes to dry cleaning, while normal clothes cost Rs 200-300, shopkeepers charge Rs 500-800 for blankets.
Some big dry cleaners even charge up to Rs 1000 for dry cleaning. This is very frustrating, because by paying so much money every year for dry cleaning of the blanket, a new blanket can be bought in 2-3 years’ money. In such a situation, this question also comes in the mind of many people whether the blanket can be washed in the washing machine.

So the answer is, yes, you can absolutely wash the blanket in the washing machine. But only if it is written on its care label that doing so is safe for the blanket. Some materials should not be machine washed and must be dry-cleaned. If you’re confused about how to care for your blanket, be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions before washing it.
What should be the setting of washing machine?
If it is machine washable then it can be washed at home. For this, first of all check what capacity your washing machine comes with. Suppose your washing machine is of 7kg, and in such a case your blanket is 7kg or less, then put it in the washing machine and then set it on Gentle programme. It may be in your washing machine under the name of Delicates. Therefore, see it as per your convenience.
