WASH CARE INSTRUCTIONS

MACHINE WASH INSTRUCTIONS

We recommend Hand Wash or dry cleaning for all wool-based blankets if you have the time. However, who has the time these days? If you are going to machine wash your wool blanket, follow the tips below. For spills, spot clean it with a warm, wet cloth.
MACHINE WASH For all wool-based blankets, use a cold wash and rinse. Wash separately or with similar colours
DETERGENT Use a very mild wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach; We recommend using Laundress
HANG DRY Line, Hang dry, or lay flat. We do not recommend tumble dry as the heat will shrink and damage your blanket
DO NOT IRON Do not iron! It will burn the fibers of your blanket. Especially the Basotho Blanket. With the proper care will be in your family for generations

HAND WASH INSTRUCTIONS

Salt is a great stain remover and natural softener (unlike washing powder and detergents) for blankets and keeps the colors bright. It is also environmentally friendly! It is perfect for caring for your Basotho blanket.
COLD WASH Fill a bath tub or large bucket with cold water
ADD SALT Pour a cup of course salt into the water
SUBMERGE Submerge your blanket into the water and allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes.
WASH | RINSE | DRY Hand wash. Rinse thoroughly (add enough cold water to cover the blanket). Gently squeeze water out. Hang to dry naturally
