How to Care for a Quilted Wool Blanket
Wool blankets generally do not need frequent washing because wool has a natural ability to resist dirt and odors. A simple airing or removing local stains is often enough.
Here are some tips on how to care for quilted wool blankets:
Air them regularly: You can air your wool blankets regularly, which will help them remove unwanted odors and restore their freshness. You can hang them outside or open a window to give them enough air.
Use bedding: This will minimize direct contact with dirt and reduce the need for frequent cleaning of the blanket.
Remove local stains: If local stains appear on the blanket, you can remove them in a gentle way, such as using a damp cloth and a mild detergent designed for wool. Rinse thoroughly and allow the blanket to dry well.
Store it properly: As with wool blankets in general, quilted wool blankets should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area to minimize the risk of moisture, mold or odor. Store them in a clean and dry place, ideally in a textile bag.
Shake regularly. Best after every sleep.
By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your quilt will last you a really long time.
