Do you have a woolen Pendleton throw or blanket? Keeping it clean ensures that it is comfortable and safe. Woolen blankets are durable. They are also among the most desirable types of beddings because they are warm, soft and they cannot be stained or damaged easily. You can easily clean the heavily soiled blankets with a brush. You should wash your blankets a couple of times every year. You should never use harsh chemicals when cleaning wool blankets. This will degrade the blanket. Here are some tips for cleaning blankets.

Brush your wool throws and blankets

Use a soft bristle brush to brush the wool blanket. Whether your blanket is heavily soiled or just dingy, brushing will make a huge difference. You should spread the Pendleton blankets on the floor and brush it down the axis to ensure that the fibers are lying in the same direction. This will give the blanket structural strength.

Clean off the stains from the blanket

You can use wool cleaning liquid to soak the blanket. Don’t wait for the stains to set in because they will be impossible to remove. You can use mild detergents and warm water to clean the stains as soon as you notice them. Soak the area of the spill in warm water and mild detergent and avoid scrubbing the fabric.

Use a washer for blankets that are heavily soiled

Place heavily soiled throws and blankets in the washer with wool-safe detergent and cold water. Allow the blanket to soak for around 15 minutes in the mixture and set your washer to cycle gently for 2 minutes. Switch the washing machine to the rinse cycle and let the rinse cycle to complete.

Hang your blankets to dry

Avoid drying your woolen Pendleton throw or blanket on direct sunlight. Hang it in a shade to dry from the warm wind.
