Wash a plastic-backed picnic blanket?

Can I put a plastic-backed picnic blanket through the washing machine?

I've washed ours several times!

Beware when taking it out of the washer as it will still be full of water :eek:so get it out into a bowl IYKWIM and put it straight on the line to drip.

Ours iwas about £5 from Tesco and we've had it 5 years - still going strong!

I've got a hand wash setting on my machine, so use that - as rockie4 said, it comes out dripping. If you don't have a hand wash setting, I'd use the most gentle you do have.

Yep, like others said mine has been through the washer a few times. I do mine on the sports wash, and then dry it on the line. You do have to be careful taking it out though as it will be holding loads of water!
