Washing blankets

[LucyB.]

I'm going to have to wash all the blankets for the baby before he's born which I didn't intend to do! They've been at a family members house cos we have loads of stuff and they've been left in a room which they decorated and now they smell of paint. Will they be ok to wash or will they lose their fluffiness? Xx

Do them on a gently wash and they should be fine xx

All my cellular blankets have gone out of shape when I washed them but that's normal x

I've washed all my blankets and sheets. I wanted everything to smell of us and be clean (you don't know who's been handling them in the shops!). The smell lush and are nice and soft but not a 'new' looking obviously.

I washed everything too including blankets just so that I would know they would be clean and smell nice. The cellular blankets wet out of shape but expected that.

I didn't wash blankets I'd knit myself cos want to keep them soft and fluffy as long as possible but I think they'll be ok cos won't be in direct contact with a lot of LO's skin.
