How to Wash a Throw Blanket — 7 Simple Steps to Make Yours Like New, Including Treating Stains

A bed with a throw blanket on top.

Some might think that caring for a throw blanket is the same as caring for a regular one. But because throws are often more about style, they might have tassels, fringe, or special dyes. These details can make them require a bit more maintenance, requiring cold water or even hand washing. Also, they’re often made from delicate or decorative fabrics like fleece, knit, or even fancy faux fur.

There are many types of bedding, and regular blankets don’t usually come with all the extras, so they’re less fussy to clean. Since they’re designed to be "thrown" over furniture or incorporated into other bedding styles, crumbs, lint, or pet hair might be clinging to them. Shake it outside or roll a lint roller over it. Sort it with similar items to avoid snagging, or throw it in a laundry bag if it’s super delicate.
