How to Care for Your Personalized Blanket

Your personalized blanket isn’t just a cozy addition to your home—it’s a meaningful piece made just for you or your loved ones. Whether it's a custom name, design, or photo, keeping your blanket looking vibrant and feeling soft is easier than you think. Here's a simple guide to help you care for your personalized blanket so it stays beautiful for years to come.

1. Read the Label First

Every blanket may have slightly different care instructions depending on the fabric type and printing method used. Always check for a care label when you receive your blanket. If you bought it from Subliminal Design, our standard care instructions work for most products—but it’s always best to double-check.

2. Wash with Care

To preserve the quality of your personalized print:

• Machine wash cold with like colors.
• Use a gentle cycle to reduce wear.
• Choose a mild detergent (no bleach or harsh chemicals).
• Avoid fabric softeners if possible, as they may affect the fabric's texture and print.

3. Dry Gently

The drying process can affect both softness and print longevity.

• Air dry whenever possible for best results.
• If you use a dryer, tumble dry on low heat.
• Avoid high heat, which can cause fading or shrinkage.

4. Avoid Ironing the Print

If your blanket wrinkles, it’s best to avoid ironing directly over the printed area. If needed, iron on the reverse side on a low setting or use a steamer to gently remove wrinkles.

5. Store it Properly

When not in use, fold your blanket and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic storage containers for long periods, as they can trap moisture. Fabric bins or breathable bags are better for long-term storage.

6. Spot Clean When Needed

For small stains or spots, try a gentle spot cleaning with cold water and a soft cloth. Always dab—never rub—to avoid damaging the print or fabric.

7. Keep It Special

Your personalized blanket is a keepsake, and while it’s made for everyday use, treating it with care helps preserve its charm. If it was gifted for a birthday, graduation, or special event, consider using it in a display or decorative setup when not being used for warmth.

At Subliminal Design, we put love into every personalized blanket we create. With just a little bit of care, you can keep yours soft, cozy, and meaningful for many seasons to come. Whether it’s a gift or a treat for yourself, caring for your blanket properly ensures it continues to spark joy and comfort day after day.
