Cleaning and caring for your blankets
Grubby little fingers are everywhere :)
We get it! You want your blanket to stay awesome all the time, but then life (and little fingers) get in the way. Well, your Thula Tula blanket is up to the task. First off, your blankets is made from the very finest wool and fibers. Our factory in South Africa has been doing this for 67 years, they know how to make an exceptional blanket that repels dirt and liquid. For normal use, we recommend only washing once a year. When it's wash time here are a few tips to get you on your way.
Machine Washing
We recommend Hand Wash or dry cleaning for all wool-based blankets if you have the time. However, who has the time these days? If you are going to machine wash your wool blanket, follow the tips below. For spills, spot clean it with a warm, wet cloth.
-
Cold Wash
For all wool-based blankets, use a cold wash and rinse. Wash separately or with similar colors
-
Detergent
Use a very mild wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach; We recommend using Laundress
-
Hang Dry
Line, Hang dry, or lay flat. We do not recommend tumble dry as the heat will shrink and damage your blanket
-
No ironing
Do not iron! It will burn the fibers of your blanket. Especially the Basotho Blanket. With the proper care will be in your family for generations
