Can I sit on my electric blanket?

No, you should not sit on your electric blanket. This product is designed to be used as a covering, not as a cushion or seat warmer. Electric blankets contain delicate heating elements that can become pinched or bent under pressure. When you sit or lie on the blanket, you risk damaging these wires, which may cause the blanket to stop working properly or become unsafe to use.


To safely use the electric blanket:

  • Lay it flat on top of your bedding or body.

  • Do not place heavy objects on it.

  • Never fold, roll, or bunch up the blanket while in use.

  • Turn off and unplug the blanket when not in use.


Can I wash my electric blanket in the washing machine?

No, you should not put your electric blanket in the washing machine. This product contains delicate heating wires that can be damaged by the agitation and twisting of a washing machine. Water exposure and harsh detergents can also cause electrical components to deteriorate, making it unsafe to use.


To safely clean the electric blanket:

  • Unplug the blanket and remove the control unit.

  • Spot clean small stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

  • Or hand-wash by soaking the blanket in lukewarm water with mild detergent for a short time.

  • Allow the blanket to dry naturally.
