How to Properly Wash & Care for Your Throw Blankets

Sofa throws are like ornaments for your decor. Just like a piece of jewelry, adds charm to a human personality, a sofa throw brings the finishing touch to the interior. It is one way to add colors, patterns, and layers to the decor. Sweet in your space and light in your pocket, this is one of the most effective accents to add life to your home.

Sofa throws are not like regular blankets. They are smaller, thinner, and can be placed in any room, anywhere. These come in different materials and patterns. Though they fall in the affordable luxury category, everything needs to be taken care of. You are nowhere near the right track if you think simply washing a sofa throw blanket is enough. In this blog, we shall discuss how to take care of these decor marvels and keep them as good as new for a longer time. 

1.       Air drying- Initially dip the throw in cold water. This moisturizes the throw thoroughly, loosening the dry dust particles stuck in the inner layers. Post this process, you can either squeeze the throw blanket or put it in a dryer. Depending upon the material of your sofa throw, choose the drying mode. Let the throw sit in sunlight for a few hours and your sofa throw will be as good as new.

2.       Using a fabric softener- Decor accents like sofa throws, sofa covers and cushion covers are often kept in the sunlight to make them germ and odor-free instead of washing. While less washing helps them maintain their fluffiness and natural colors, it is important to rinse them every now and then. When doing so, a fabric softener is your best friend. Once again, use the softener according to the throw material, and read all the ‘how to use’ steps written behind the bottle. A fabric softener will help rejuvenate the texture, the fluffiness, and the original color of the throw along with adding a fragrance.

3.       Brush, don’t rush- If you have a pet in the house, gently slide a brush to loosen those furs entangled in the throw pile. After brushing, use a sticky roll-on to catch and remove all the fur.

4.       Spot cleaning-  Spills and stains should be immediately attended to. Just like you do on a rug, dab the stain with a dry cloth/tissue. Once the excess is removed, dab the spillage area with a damp cloth. Use a soft detergent as per the throw material and get rid of the stain effortlessly. Remember to not rub the stain vigorously, this may damage the canvas of your sofa throw.

5.       Out in the sun- In comparison with to the normal blankets, sofa throw blankets are used more often. Easy to use and style, using them for instant warmth and creating a cozy environment. Washing them regularly may lead to fading, thus, getting them aired and keeping them in sunlight every once in a while is a smart way to keep them fresh for a long.
