Question:

How do you wash a 100% polyester faux fur blanket?

The care tag says machine wash and dryAfter I did that, it turned nubby and quot;stickyquot; like acrylicI googled it and found out you cannot dry polyester faux fur because heat destroys the fibersSo I returned it to the store and got a new oneThis one I've only been line-drying and the softness has lasted longer, but now it's turning nubby againWhat should I do?!

Answer:

Its good but needs a giant lamp in there somewhere.
There is actually not much you can doIt's a synthetic material made from a mix of plastics and petroleum combined in such a way and then extruded through a form with tiny holesIt cannot be treated really as fabrics areI usually shake them outside and use them like rugs, but washing them breaks the chemical bonds down eventually, wash in cold water with no soap and hang to dryYou have to live with the nubs or use a wire brush to right them again, breaking the filaments.
