Bearaby says caring for your weighted blanket is simple when you follow the right steps. The brand recommends always checking the care label first and making sure your washer can handle the blanket’s weight, especially for 20 lb or 25 lb options. 

Most Cotton and Tree Nappers are machine washable, while Velvet styles should be dry cleaned.

Bearaby recommends:

• Wash separately in cold water
  
  

• Use delicate or permanent-press cycle
  
  

• Choose mild or eco-friendly detergent
  
  

• Avoid bleach and fabric softener
  
  

• Tumble dry on low (may need two cycles)
  
  

• Never hang to dry — it can stretch

For heavier blankets, Bearaby suggests using a commercial washer if needed to protect your machine and keep your blanket cozy.

Baloo Living says to keep your weighted blanket fresh by washing it alone, in cold water on a gentle cycle. 

Dry it on low heat and check after 20 minutes, as it dries quickly. The brand advises confirming your washer’s capacity and using a commercial washer for king and comforter sizes. Do not dry clean, iron, or use bleach.

Follow these brand-recommended steps:

• Wash one blanket at a time
  
  

• Use cold water, gentle cycle
  
  

• Tumble dry low, short cycle
  
  

• Avoid bleach, ironing, dry cleaning
