Caring for Your Tartan Blanket

Caring for your acrylic-wool tartan blanket, the right way.

Caring for your Tartan Blanket

Acrylic yarn resists dirt, so your Tartan Blanket needs washing less often. When it does, here is how to keep it at its best.

Air Cleaning: hang it in a well-ventilated area, indoors or out, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Brushing: lay it flat and use a soft brush, working gently in one direction to avoid fibre damage.

Small Stains: use warm water and a gentle detergent; soak the area and blot with a soft cloth — avoid scrubbing.

Drying: lay flat to dry on towels rather than hanging wet, so the blanket keeps its shape.

De-pilling: remove natural pilling gently with a de-pilling comb, working in one direction.

Machine Washing: avoid it — hand washing protects the shape and longevity. Dry cleaning is the safest option of all.

Wrap up in tartan.
