Question from vlavianos
I have acquired an LL Bean 100% wool blanket. The care instructions indicate “dry cleaning recommended”. I have read that vinegar can be used in the washing machine. Does anyone have more detailed instructions?
Debra’s Answer
I don’t have any information on washing a wool blanket with vinegar in the washing machine, but I do have a warning: do NOT dry a wool blanket in the dryer with heat. It makes the wool fibers contract together and will shrink your blanket. Believe me. I lost two beautiful wool sweaters this way.
I always wash my woolens by hand and let them air dry.
