I have a small electric blanket which came off my son's bed. Needs a freshen up, but it says on lable - Do Not Launder - Do Not Dry Clean....
It is a fur fabric/fleecy type blanket.
Seems a waste to chuck it and buy a new one, as it works fine - has anyone any ideas for freshening it up??

You could run the vacuum cleaner over it and air it outside. Make sure you pick a dry day so that it doesn't get wet.10 Dec 2007 - Led Zeppelin - I was there. :j [/COLOR]:cool2: I wear my 50 (gold/red/white) blood donations pin badge with pride. [/SIZE][/COLOR]Give blood, save a life. [/B]0

Maybe a quick wipe down with some baby wipes, and then hang on the washing line to freshen up.
