How to stop your faux fur blankets from shedding?

When it comes to fuzzy blankets, one of the most common concerns is shedding. This issue is particularly prevalent with newly purchased blankets, but don't worry, there are several effective strategies to minimize and control the shedding of your blankets.

The first step in tackling the shedding issue is to understand the material your blanket is made of. Here's a closer look at the materials commonly used in our blankets:

Faux Fur Blankets

Faux fur blankets are known for their luxurious appearance and plush feel. They are often made from a combination of materials, including polyester and acrylic, which can contribute to shedding.

Tips to Reduce Shedding:

· Initial Washing: New faux fur blankets tend to shed more initially. Washing them once or twice before use can help to remove excess fibers.
· Use a Lint Roller: Regularly use a lint roller or tape to pick up loose fibers from the surface of the blanket.
· Dryer with Tennis Balls: Place the blanket in the dryer with a few tennis balls on a no-heat or air-fluff setting. The tennis balls help to break up and catch the loose fibers.
· Vacuum Gently: Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently remove loose fur. Be sure to vacuum slowly and in one direction to avoid damaging the fibers.

Cotton Blankets

Cotton blankets are a favorite for their breathability and versatility, making them suitable for various climates and uses. However, they can shed lint, especially if not cared for properly. Just like our knit blankets, following the right care instructions can ensure they stay in the best condition.

Tips to Reduce Shedding:

· Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the washing machine, as friction between blankets can cause shedding.
· Tumble Dry on Low Heat: Tumble drying on a low heat setting or air-drying can help to minimize lint.

By understanding the material of your blanket and following these care tips, you can significantly reduce the shedding of your faux fur blanket and enjoy its luxurious feel for a longer period. Remember, a little extra care can go a long way in maintaining the appearance and comfort of your favorite blanket.

How to make a fuzzy blanket soft again?

When it comes to fuzzy blankets, maintaining their softness is key to keeping them cozy and comfortable. Over time, even the softest blankets can start to feel less plush. Here are some effective methods to restore the softness of your fuzzy blanket and keep it that way:

· Mild Detergent Wash: Use a gentle, fragrance-free detergent to clean your blanket. Harsh chemicals can damage fibers and make the blanket stiff.
· Gentle Cycle: Always select a gentle cycle on your washing machine to minimize abrasion on delicate fibers.
· Dry with Tennis Balls: Place a couple of clean tennis balls in the dryer with your blanket to help fluff up the fibers and restore softness.
· Air Dry: Whenever possible, air dry your blanket to avoid heat damage from dryers. This helps maintain the fibers' integrity and softness.
· Regular, Yet Moderate Washing: Wash your blanket regularly, but avoid overwashing, which can wear out the fibers. Aim for every few weeks based on usage.
· Proper Storage: Store your blanket in a cool, dry place, folded neatly in a breathable bag to protect it from dust and moisture.
· Fabric Shaver: Use a fabric shaver to remove pills and keep the surface smooth and soft.
· Brush the Fibers: Gently brush the fibers with a soft brush to maintain the blanket’s fluffiness.

By following these steps, you can not only restore the softness of your fuzzy blanket but also enhance your overall comfort during those chilly nights. Say goodbye to lint woes and hello to uninterrupted warmth and relaxation with your favorite blanket.

How to dry your blanket？

Proper drying techniques are crucial in preventing pilling and maintaining the quality of your blanket. Air-drying is the best option, as it avoids exposing the blanket to high temperatures or static electricity, which can cause fibers to stick together and form balls.

Air Drying Tips:

· If possible, hang your blanket outdoors in a spot that's out of direct sunlight.
· Avoid hanging it near any fans that could blow dust onto the fabric.
· Use a clothesline instead of hangers whenever possible to ensure even exposure to air circulation on all sides of the blanket.
· Turn the blanket over periodically to ensure even drying.

Indoor Drying:

· If you don't have outdoor space, use an indoor drying rack with plenty of room for air circulation.
· Make sure there's no excessive humidity on the drying rack to prevent mold growth.

Using a Dryer:

· If you prefer using a dryer, set it to a low heat or delicate cycle to help preserve the blanket's quality for a longer period.
· Add organic wool dryer balls to the dryer to help fluff up the blanket and prevent excessive pilling.
· Avoid overloading the dryer to ensure even drying of the blanket.
