Wash the blanket with cold water.<\/li><li>2. Use mild detergent.<\/li><li>3. Machine-wash it with cold water.<\/li><li>4. Dry the blanket correctly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on the explore these steps in more detail in this guide. Happy reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You\u2019re Going To Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start washing your minky blanket, make sure you have all the things you need. Here\u2019s a list of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Mild liquid or powder detergent<span style=\"font-size: inherit; text-align: justify; color: var(--contrast); background-color: var(--base-3);\"> <\/span><\/li><li>Alternatively, you can use a combination of vinegar and baking soda <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all you need to wash a minky blanket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2013 Wash It With Cold Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This step is important. Washing with cold water ensures that the blanket\u2019s fibers are not damaged and that it retains its softness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wash it with hot water, the blanket\u2019s fibers will melt and its texture won\u2019t be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important thing to keep in mind is that your minky blanket should be washed alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t wash it with other laundry items as that may damage the <a href=\"https:\/\/spotrinse.com\/how-to-wash-barefoot-dreams-blanket\/\">blanket<\/a> itself or the other articles of clothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, wash it with cold water and wash it separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2013 Use Very Mild Detergent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong detergents can be harmful to your minky blanket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can damage the fibers on the blanket and affect its softness. So I recommend using mild detergents (in powder or liquid form). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detergents for sensitive skin are also a good option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re washing your minky blanket, you also need to avoid using <a href=\"https:\/\/spotrinse.com\/is-fabric-softener-bad-for-washing-machine\/\">any kind of fabric softeners<\/a> or laundry pods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fabric softener tends to get stuck on the fibers of a minky blanket and is very hard to get rid of, even with water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can remain on the fibers after the wash cycle and can harden, giving your blanket a rough texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2013 Machine-wash With Cold Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, cold water is important for reasons I\u2019ve explored previously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you put your minky blanket in the machine, make sure you set a delicate washing cycle with cold water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will ensure the fibers are not damaged during the cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold and delicate wash settings work best for minky blankets. This way, the blanket doesn\u2019t lose its soft feel and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 \u2013 Dry Your Minky Blanket Gently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last step in washing your minky blanket may be simple but it should be done carefully if you want to avoid damaging the blanket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, a minky blanket can be damaged if it is not dried properly. The best way to dry a minky blanket is to hang it up on a clothesline outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then pop it into a dryer and set it to tumble dry so that it can fluff up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing heat to the blanket during the drying process can easily melt the fibers and I do not recommend it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, a minky blanket can not be ironed, dry-cleaned, or bleached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A minky blanket is very delicate and it should be handled \u2013 and washed with great care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the required care is not taken at any step of the washing process, the blanket can easily get damaged and may not have the same texture and feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence there is a list of dos and don\u2019ts when it comes to washing a minky blanket, which I\u2019ve explored in detail in this guide. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Minky blanket can be difficult to wash as special precautions need to be taken during the washing process and certain practices must be avoided.
