1. Machine Wash on Delicate and Cold

If you're wondering, “Can I wash my Mexican blanket in the washing machine?” the answer is yes! You can use a machine wash on the delicate cycle with cold water. Cold water washing keeps the blanket’s colors vibrant and prevents shrinkage. Avoid using hot water, as it can lead to fabric damage and color fading over time.

2. Hang Dry for Long-Lasting Quality

Wondering how to dry your Mexican blanket? Hang drying is highly recommended to keep it in optimal shape. This method preserves the blanket’s shape and prevents shrinkage, making it ideal for those who want their blanket to look and feel new longer. Simply drape it over a drying rack or clothesline in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight to maintain its colors and softness.

3. Dry Cleaning – The Preferred Method for Best Results

While machine washing is an option, dry cleaning is the preferred care method for your Mexican blanket. This professional cleaning technique is the best way to keep your blanket fresh, soft, and free from any potential fabric damage. By opting for dry cleaning, you’ll enjoy a like-new blanket for years to come, maintaining its vibrant colors and cozy feel.

4. Avoid Bleach – Keep Your Blanket Looking Beautiful

Always avoid bleach. Using bleach can damage the fabric, leading to faded colors and weakened fibers. Instead, opt for a gentle, eco-friendly detergent to keep the fabric soft, luxurious, and sustainable.
