How to Wash a Fleece Blanket Properly:
Step 1
Before washing your fleece, always check the label on the blanket, and look for specific instructions for taking care of your fleece blanket. It may require special care or a temperature setting.
Step 2
If your blanket has some grease or food stains, you need to take care of them first before washing it using a gentle detergent, and make sure to avoid using bleach and fabric softeners as they can damage the fleece fibers.
Step 3
To wash the fleece blanket, pour some water into the washing machine, then add about 4 to 5 tablespoons of any detergent, and let it work for a few minutes. Place a single fleece blanket in the machine with no other items to avoid overloading, then run it for 30 minutes, and rinse it with water before letting the blanket dry in the air.

Step 4
You can also wash the fleece blanket by hand to help preserve its softness and prevent damage. Just add cold water to the tub, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of baking soda, and add 4 tablespoons of any detergent.
Step 5
Give them a good mix, then put the fleece blanket in the water, and soak it in nicely. Wash the blanket, then rinse it with clean water, and let it air dry. To keep it fluffy, store it in a dry place and avoid folding it tightly.
