Dry as recommended for permanent press fabrics on page 17.

If manufacturer recommends machine drying:

1.Place one or two dry towels in the dryer and preheat 3-5 minutes on a high setting. This will dry blankets faster and help avoid pilling.

2.Put blanket in dryer with warm towels. Set control for 20 minutes.

4.Place blanket on flat surface or over two lines to finish drying. Gently stretch to original size and shape.

5.When completely dry, brush gently to raise nap. Press binding with cool iron if needed.

Remove drapery weights and hooks before laundering.
