#WeightedBlankets #CleaningTips - Навчання та стиль
For a person with severe insomnia, my weighted blanket is a lifesaver. Yes, it reduces anxiety, restlessness, mind wondering and racing, and waking intermittingly. Thank you for your washing info, it was exactly what I needed.
Happy to help! Thank you for the comment🙂
Joke's on you. They'll never look for corn or rice in my weighted blanket during the apocalypse.
😂😂😂
I had my weighted blanket for 2 weeks now and I definitely sleep better. Thanks for the information ℹ️
Happy to help!
About to give this a go. My dog peed on my weighted blanket 😭 this video gave me confidence to wash and dry this at a commercial laundromat. Thank you!
Happy to help! best of luck to you brother!
Same thing
Did it work?
OMG ME TOO LOL
Jonathan Tran did it work? My dog peed on my brothers and we are trying to clean it at a laundromat but want to know if works first! Please let me know:)
My blanket puts me in a coma every time
Ha! Nice!!
O'Malley Jefferson mine too but it needs to be cleaned!!!
I always liked feeling the pressure of someone laying on me so when the weighted blanket came out I had to get one.
Never thought about using a duvet cover . Putting on one later. I love my weighted blanket definitely helps with sleeping. Thanks for the tips.
Happy to help
I love my weighted blanket. Can’t sleep without it. It has been so helpful with my restless legs I have. I have not cleaned it yet. Good DIY video.
Thanks🙂
Love my weighted blanket. 17 lbs . I haven’t tried cleaning it yet but it needs to be cleaned. This video is helpful
Glad you found the video valuable 🙂
Thank God you said "confidently ".
I definitely approach these things with a slight confused, reluctant touch.
I got mine as I was lying on the floor in English so my teacher got the blanket and put it over me and it helped with my sensory needs so much.
Cool
I have a 25 pounder and love it! Very heavy to move. I’m dreading taking it to wash. But this video helps. Ordering a duvet cover asap!
Happy to help!
Even a 10 pounder is heavy! Gotta remember to calculate weight with water added, because usually a weighted blanket soaks up more water than clothing does, so it will be really heavy and bulky in a washing machine. I would just say don't even try putting a weighted blanket in your residential washer. Modern day washers spin cycle is very fast and any kind of big bulky blanket, even a comforter, or a bath matt can damage your washer. See article for reference: "Family Handyman, Why Bathroom Mats Shouldn't Go in Your Washer"
Thank you so much. Other videos basically said to make a wish over it and it'll be clean, but your video was informative and helpful.
Thank you so much!
Happy to help!
Update: We went to a laundromat, triple checked that the weight wouldn't ruin their machines and we washed and dried (dried for 15 minutes on medium heat, checking half way) the blanket with perfect success!
Thanks again!
@@sherirocco7726 wonderful! Thanks for the testimony🙂
Just got my 25lb blanket tonight and already enjoy it. But soon thought about how to wash it. Thank you so much!
Edit: Dang did I say 25? I meant 15. But now I want to see if they sell blankets that heavy.
You are very welcome!
I own a 25 pound weighted blanket, it's very heavy, but really nice to sleep with.
They do and I had to return mine because it became hell to move. I love the pressure, but just tossing into a place where you want it to be hurt my shoulder. I started to resent the dang thing. I now have a 17 pound and it's much better!

yes they do. i love mine❤️❤️
Love mine! You have a great personality, I look forward to more videos.
Thanks for the comment!
I love my weighted blanket I do sleep deeper. Thank you for the tips.
Happy to help!
Thanks so much for this - I've been avoiding washing mine because I couldn't get direct/ clear instructions. I appreciate it 🤘
Happy to help
Same here. I'm on my way to the laundromat now because I refuse to put this 15 pounder in my machine. But I've always had a million questions. But he pretty much covered everything I had questions about
I use a weighted blanket to help me not toss and turn so much and it really has helped!! I was only going to wash the cover so I can just wash that like any other blanket I wash?
I am so thankful for your video, I had no idea what was inside my weighted blanket and there is no cover and no wash tag. After watching your video I made the decision to cut a super small whole and VIOLA .. glass beads. I would have bet money it was sand haha
Ha! lol Glad you found the video helpful 🙂
I have more confidence now. I have a front loader so I'm going for it. At least my tag is still on it and does say that it has glass beads and it does say everything you just said to wash it on low no bleach tumble dry low etc. Thanks for the video
happy to help
This is the BEST video I have ever seen!! 😄
Thanks!
Thanks so much. This is very helpful.
You are welcome
This was very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thank you so much for this video. I can wash mine 😊 so happy
you are welcome
THANK YOU!!! For the instructions😉
You are welcome
I haven’t washed mine because mines fairly new but I think I will probably just put in the bathtub with some dish detergent washing soda and borax.....After I switched around for a little probably drain the tub and turn on the shower. Maybe drape it over some upside down laundry baskets to make sure Rentz is out well and let it dry. I don’t know I haven’t really thought it through til just now
Very helpful, thanks!
Happy to help
Ow it helps to sleep alot better and with reducing stress:). I have been sleeping under a 7 kilo one for a few months and after the first night i was realy tired. That was just because all my exhaustion was released and needed to get out of my system. Now i feel alot better but sometimes it feels like i need another one because it's to light:p.
It also helps when im overstimulated and need to relax.
Thanks for sharing
No problem:) i realy love my weighted blanket:).
I love my weighted blanket. However my daughters English Boxer who was in “heat” decided she loved my blanket also and slept on it. Yikes, I need to clean it. She spotted it all over. Thank you for the tips! 🙏
Happy to help

Thanks for sharing
Why do I just love how you said... (pause).. “with confidence”!!.. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
lol :)
Great video. Thanks !
Happy to help
I LOVE MY 12# TRANQUILITY. NEVER HAVE CLEANED IT AS IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY TOUCH MY BODY. I HAVE IT BETWEEN TWO OTHER BLANKETS. JUST CURIOUS THOUGH, THE FILLING DOESN'T DISINTEGRATE, DOES IT? THANKS FOR THE WASHING VIDEO AS WELL. VERY HELPFUL AS I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF THIS THIS VERY WEEK. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
It shouldn't disintegrate. Happy to help, happy new year!!
thank you i needed this
You are welcome!
A little skeptical on the washing process, our dreamaway blanket tags says no to all, machine,drier and obviously the bleaches.
The blanket is a glass bead, so I cannot see any reason why it cannot be machine washed.
Curious what the damage would be if I did wash on gentle and tumble, pull while still a wee damp and lay on the kitchen table.💁♂️
I have a hyperactive 4 yr old and we love this blanket. He sleepsnin his own bed now!🙆♂️
Love the vid, very usefull information.
I have one myself, and the wife and I LOVE IT!
Same! Did you even machine wash it or did you hand wash?
@@taylorashwood I did wash it in the machine, gentle cycle, low heat dry, about 45 mins and laid out a sheet to absorb some excess moisture. Worked like a charm. I did the same with my sons as well but tumble dried his, he has the polymer beads.
My 12 lbs. blanket says it contains glass but also says spot clean only. Does that mean I can still machine wash? Can I dry it on my stationary rack that goes into my dryer? I use it for items that I don’t want to tumble dry I.e. tennis shoes.
If it says hand wash only that would just be a personal choice. As far as the stationary rack is concerned I prefer to lay it out on a flat clean surface to dry. I would hate for the blanket to hang off the sides and the beads bunch up inside messing up the weight distribution.
I have a 15 pound Tranquility weighted blanket so do I handwash it or put it in the machine?
Thanks great to the point video.
Happy to help!
I love this channel
Glad you are enjoying it!
Great Vid!
Thanks
Mine has ceramic filling do you think it would be ok to wash?
Thank you!
you are welcome!
Mine is so full of static I see sparks in the dark! It came that way. I just want to get the static out. I’ve sprayed it with an anti static spray and that didn’t help at all.
Bad blanket. Try a different company unfortunately
My question is, mine has glass beads but it says to only spot clean it. I would get a cover for it but I don’t have the money for a $60-70 duvet cover for it.
Get a job
@@punkvader77 haha so funny, "just get a job during a pandemic!"
If the tag says hand wash only, but says the filling is glass beads, could you follow the video still?
i threw up on my weighted blanket last night it says machine washable but air dry but i don’t know what is in it so should i just do it?
I love my weighted blanket. My only fault with it is that I can get really hot underneath it. When I do I simply come from under it til I cool off. Thank you for making the video. Mine is 20lbs so I will be taking it to the laundromat as you suggested. Thanx again.
Happy to help
My weighted old blanket stressed me out because it got so uneven
Thank you, this was very helpful. I LOVE my weighted blanket 💜
Happy to help!
My weighted blanket helps my complex ptsd!
Factz.
/Bklyn👑
PTSD from what?
@@adamatch9624 ummm, that’s rude to ask someone that has ptsd why they have it. It’s personal.
What about ceramic beads? Are they machine washable?
My weighted blanket has glass beads, but also has a big bold label saying to only spot wash, and to not wash in the machine. Will the metgis in this video still work or will it ruin my blanket?
If the blanket says to spot wash you should probably just do that👍
Anyone know if you can wash one with ceramic beads??
Thank you.
You are welcome!
Ok, so this literally covered all my questions that I had. Thank you!
Happy to help
Is that real?😱 1:27. Mines is a hotel quilt I have to figure out how to dry w/o breaking the line. The outro catchy
I put mine in the washer and it’s tangled up now and I was wondering how to get it untangled
Got the xl weight blanket from big blacket co. How do I wash this big blacket.
Just follow the method from the video or you can always check the product care label on the blanket itself.
you are good. thks
Happy to help
Imma have to steal that quote with wave visual..."WITH CONFIDENCE!"🤣🤣🤣
🙂
Mine says that it’s 91 percent. Glass beads I’m I able to wash it at all ?
i have a glass beaded one
Is it necessary to have a duvet cover to wash the weighted blanket? Mine didn’t come with one
And the tag was ripped when I sleeping so I don’t know how to wash,dry it properly . Plz help
what about ceramic beads? maybe i didn’t hear it mentioned but does anyone know how to clean ones with those?
My question..I have ceramic
So what I’ve learned today is to just get a duvet cover for your weighted blanket.
That would be best!
I'd rather go without a cover since removing and puting it on a king size 20lb blanket is a nightmare. I just use a flat sheet under my blanket to minimize the transfer of skin and oil
Thanks. My cat peed on my weighted blanket of all things. Guess I’ll take it to the laundromat.
What about blankets filled with gel beads????
I recently received a glass beaded blanket. Is it normal to find little glass fragments in the bed from using it? It did not come with a cover and im wondering if it might be particles from manufacturing. Im not sure if I should return it or not.
That shouldn't happen, your blanket might be ripped somewhere
Mine says it has 92% glass beads but it also says spot clean only
Just got my blanket so sadisfied
:)
Mines has glass beads but the tag says not to machine wash
Well my wife got a great solution for it and getting it right the first time just take it to the dry cleaners
Yea you can do that too👍
What about glass beads?
Lol how do I wash it if it isn’t organic material, but not compatible with machines? I was hoping for a hand washing demo
I’m watching this because the last time I washed mines it was all wrinkled and look like a burned blankets lol😂
the paper has been cut off so can l go to a
👍
What about a weighted heated blanket?
how do i know what isside my wieghtred blanket
It may say on the care tag that is sewed onto the blanket itself. You could also check the manufacturers website👍
We use ours to keep our toddler from getting out of bed at night. Put him down to sleep, throw the weighted blanket on him and get back to facebook.
Lol
You are very charismatic and beautiful!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video🙂
Hfs, this guys screaming at me
How hand wash and how to dry please
No difference really, just wash it in a bathtub by hand. Same concept no chemicals, mild detergent, etc. Dry the same way from the video. Lay it out on flat surface. Don't dry vertically.
Mine has silica sand. Sad! 😢😣
Can I use borax 👀
Do you really want to sleep under glass beads what’s the difference weight is just wait I’d rather sleep under rocks and steel beads for some reason. I don’t know why I just would
Do you wash it at the laundry mat so if you break the laundry machine see you later
I have 6.8kg adult size Calming Blanket and my watching machine takes up to 9kg of load. Am I good to go?
Basically, translated 20lb machine capacity 15lb blanket, so yes ma'am you should be good to go since 20 pound/9kg is the max.
The only weight I need at night is the weight of my decisions
why not softener?
When you have a sand one 🥲
It helps my anxiety disorder
My kangaroo pissed on mine
My wb is too heavy for me even though i have large bones.
Nobody has big bones, that's a fat person excuse, people actually think people have big bones because of this excuse
@@stonex55 he could have large bones if he is tall
I was thinking wash it in the yard hang it up and spray like if you’re going to wash your car bu I don’t have a yard maybe take it to a car wash and wash it make use you have a Bucket to put it in and when you get home put it over a balcony to let dry that’s what I can think of besides using and washer because boy if you don’t wash it it will smell like hell 😜
His voice makes me feel like I’m on the green mile
I hope thats a good thing
I don’t know what is in mine and my dog peed on it and it says do not wash 😭
Just bought one and my puppy pissed on it lol
My weighted blanket said it was machine washable
That''s the best kind!!
the blanket did not come with any label i couldnt believe it
