While it's normal to change your bed sheets regularly, it's not that obvious whether you should wash your decorative blankets too often or not.
Decorative blankets can be quite different, and their material and the way you use them can affect their cleanliness a lot.
Here are a few tips that can help you find out how often you should clean them.
Occasional use
If you only use your decorative blankets occasionally, such as for special occasions or as decorative accents, you may not need to wash them very often.
You can spot clean any visible stains or dirt and air them out regularly to keep them fresh.
Regular use
If you use your decorative blankets regularly, such as for snuggling on the couch or as an extra layer on your bed, it's a good idea to wash them every few weeks or once a month.
This helps remove any accumulated dust, body oils, or odors.
Visible dirt or stains
If your decorative blanket becomes visibly dirty or gets stained, it's best to wash it as soon as possible.
Promptly addressing stains can increase the chances of successful removal.
Pet hair or allergens
If you have pets or if you or your family members have allergies, you may want to wash your decorative blankets more frequently.
Pet hair and allergens can accumulate on the blankets, so washing them every 1-2 weeks can help keep them clean and fresh.
Follow care instructions
Always check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer.
They may have specific recommendations on how to wash and care for your decorative blankets.
Follow these instructions to ensure you don't damage the fabric or any decorative elements.
