Let's face it, our beloved throw pillows and blankets witness movie nights, marathon cuddles, and maybe even the occasional snack mishap. But when was the last time they got a proper spa day? Fear not, cleaning warriors! This guide will whip your fuzzy friends back into shape, leaving them fresh, fluffy, and ready for more snuggles.
Before You Dive In 👇
- Check the Label: Always heed the care instructions! Some fabrics require delicate handling, while others can withstand a warrior wash.
- Pre-Treat Stains: Tackle any visible stains with a gentle stain remover before washing. Shout it out loud (metaphorically, of course) at stubborn ones, but avoid harsh chemicals.
- Zip It Up, Button It Down: Secure any zippers, buttons, or closures to prevent snags and tears during the wash.
Washing Warriors, Assemble! 🧺
For Machine-Washable Pillows & Blankets:
- Choose the Right Detergent: Skip the harsh stuff! Opt for gentle laundry detergent or a natural cleaning alternative.
- Temperature Check: Warm water is usually safe, but refer to the care label for specifics. Cold water is great for colors and delicates.
- Gentle Cycle: Give your plush pals a soft touch. The delicate or gentle cycle is your friend.
- Dry Wisely: Tumble dry on low heat or air-dry for fluffier results. Add a couple of tennis balls to the dryer for extra fluff (but check if safe for the fabric).
For Hand-Washing Heroes:
- Fill a tub or sink with cool or lukewarm water.
- Add a gentle detergent and swish to create suds.
- Submerge your pillow or blanket and gently hand-wash. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water until the suds disappear.
- Squeeze out excess water gently, but don't wring.
- Lay flat on a drying rack or clean towels to air-dry. Avoid direct sunlight.

FAQ's for washing throw pillows & blankets
What if my throw pillow or blanket has a strong odor?
Baking soda can absorb odors before washing. Sprinkle it on, leave for a few hours, then vacuum. For stubborn odors, Shouter's cleaning experts can use specialized techniques to freshen them up.
How often should I clean my throw pillows and blankets?
The frequency depends on usage. We recommend weekly washing for frequently used items or spot cleaning after spills. Regular cleaning extends their lifespan and keeps them fresh.
What if my throw pillow has a feather insert? Can I still wash it?
Washing a feather insert can be tricky. Check the care label first and consider spot cleaning or professional cleaning if recommended. Shouter provides expert cleaning options for various materials, including feather inserts.
