Can I wash my electric blanket in the washer w/out damaging it?

Yes, you may wash your electric blanket in the washer.





However, there are a few things that you should take care with.





First, make sure that your washer will be able to handle the load. It will be extremely heavy. If you question if your washer can handle it, take it to a laundromat.





Second, use only half the amount of detergent that you would normally use. Further, do not add any fabric softeners, bleach, non-chlorine bleach or water softeners to the wash. These additives can harm the electrical wires.





Third, tumble dry on low, preferably on the air fluff/no heat setting. It will take a long time to dry, but at least your blanket will be nice and clean!

Machine wash on heavysettings,gentlecycle with coldwater using1/4 cup of laundrysoap.never put it in the clothes dryer;it causes the wires to shorten out faster. Always either drape the blanketacross a few kitchenchairs as i do or take outside and put it on the clothesline to airdry;its alot safer. Report Abuse
Can I wash my electric blanket in the washer w/out damaging it?
yes i do it all the time. I only put it in the dryer on low cool for awhile. best to lay it flat and let it dry. Make sure it is completely dry before you plug it up..it will be fine.
read the tag
yes , cold water gentle cycle
Yes just wash it according to the manufacture tag. If the tag is gone look up the web sight for them.
no way!
I wash mine a couple time a year in my own machine, doesn't hurt it at all.
There should be care instructions on the blanket---but I do know do not put it in the dryer---you will melt all of the little interior wires that make it hot
Yes just unplug it. I do with mine all the time.
NOPE, unless there is a way to remove the coils. Hand wash it.
are you stupid or what
Uh...NO. I wouldn't clean ANYTHING with electrical circuitry or wiring that way!
Yes you can. I have washed mine plenty of times. However. I wash it in the gentle cycle and low heat in the dryer.
