HINTS FROM HELOISE Can your electric blanket be all wet? January 5, 2005 D EAR HELOISE: Is it safe to wash and dry an electric blanket? I've misplaced my directions and am afraid to proceed– L.B., via e-mail If the care label is missing or illegible, try going online to the manufacturer's Web site to see if the care instructions are listed, or call the manufacturer's 800 number (which is usually posted on the Web site) to ask for cleaning suggestionsHere is a general washing method that might work for you(However, unless the manufacturer suggests it, never put an electric blanket in a clothes dryer or clean the blanket in a dry-cleaning machine at a self-service laundry.) To wash, first disconnect and remove any controls from the blanket, then shake it out wellNow set your washing machine on a gentle cycle with a warm water temperatureWhen the tub is full, add a mild detergent (no bleach) and let it agitate for a few minutes, then add the blanket and begin timing the wash cycleLeave the blanket in for five minutesNext, turn the setting to a spin cycle to drain the tub, and then to a cold-water rinse-and-spin cycleAfter this is completed, promptly remove the blanket from the washing machine and gently press out excess moisture – do NOT wring an electric blanketDry the blanket by hanging it over several outside clotheslines or the like to air dry(note that generally, it's advised to toss an electric blanket after 10 years and purchase a new one.definitely get rid of it if there are any rips or tears, or if any of the electrical components are in any way damaged).
