How to care for and clean a Vellux blanket

There is no doubt that almost all blankets are warm but a very few of them are actually able to provide comfort and relaxation. Vellux blankets are surely better as they are comfortable, fluffy, warm, soft and lightweight. They are so light weight, soft and velvety that people sleep a lot more comfortably while using them. They are available in various sizes including Vellux blanket king and Vellux blanket queen sizes.

Vellux blankets are hypo-allergenic which means that they are best for people who are allergic to most materials. It is for this very reason that Vellux blankets are used in almost all the hotels while the public demand for these blankets is rising with every passing minute.

Most people remain confused as to what is the best way to handle these soft and velvety blankets. Some people feel that washing them will make them harder and will make them lose their velvetiness while some people believe that these blankets are not machine washable and should be sent to the dry cleaners. Some believe that specifically the Vellux blanket King and Vellux blanket queen aren’t machine washable due to their relatively bigger size.

These are some of the misconceptions which lead to mishandling of the Vellux blanket and dent its durability. Here are some tips which will help you in handling and cleaning Vellux blanket with ease.

Machine Wash Vellux blankets every six months at least

Vellux blankets are machine washable so there is no need to dry clean the blankets. The blanket must be washed every few months while you must wash it at least twice a year or once every six months. Opposite to popular belief that the blanket would lose its softness after getting washed, washing actually makes the blanket softer. The more you wash the blanket the softer it will get; however, it doesn’t mean that you should start washing it every other day. Just try to wash it whenever you feel that it needs to be cleaned. If it is constantly used then washing it after 3-4 months and if it is used sparingly then washing the Vellux blanket after every 6 months is recommended.

Use liquid fabric cleaners or use dissolved washing powder

Its best to use dissolved washing powder or liquid fabric cleaners in order to wash the Vellux blanket. The precaution is valid while cleaning any blanket as it ensures that the blanket doesn’t get harder at all. Most people prefer to dissolve the washing powder before washing the blanket but you can also try liquid fabric cleaners to clean your Vellux blanket. Moreover, there is no need to use a fabric softener for Vellux blanket as it becomes softer after each wash itself!

Don’t keep Vellux in a plastic bag

Most people pack the blanket away in a plastic bag when not in use. This is not the proper way to handle Vellux blanket. In order to let the blanket retain its plush and softness, you must actually keep it in a cupboard. You can wrap the blanket with a dry-cleaning tissue before placing it in a cupboard in order to keep it protected from dust etc but this is all the precaution that you need to take while keeping it away in a cupboard!

If you can follow these tips then you won’t have any problems in handling and cleaning these velvety and soft blankets!

Vellux Blanket review

The demand of Vellux blanket is increasing with each passing day with more and more people ordering them for use in their homes. Vellux blankets are famous for being used in almost all hotels and are now also finding their way into the bedrooms of most people. In order to get a better understanding the pros and cons of the blankets, here are the reviews from two of the users of the blankets.

Vellux Blanket Review 1 – Jessie Stone, NY:

I heard that most hotels use Vellux blankets and people fall in love with them so much that they end up ordering them for their home as well. That was the case with me. I found the blanket so comfortable and fluffy in the hotel that I thought that I must have it at my home as well and I am happy that my decision wasn’t wrong at all. The vellux blanket is really soft and velvety and these two qualities make it the best blanket present in the market.

The vellux blankets are just as warm as all other blankets present in the market while the quality of their fabric remains unmatched. The velvety texture and softness of the blanket helps you in falling asleep within no time.

Moreover, it is so easy to handle the vellux blanket. You don’t need to dry clean it as it is machine washable and is tumble dry. In simple terms, not only is the blanket cheap, its maintenance costs aren’t high either which makes it economical as well.

The Vellux blanket is available in so many sizes that you won’t have a problem in finding the one that fits your bed. There is the Twin size, but mainly the Vellux blanket Queen Size and the Vellux blanket King size are the ones which most people opt for.

The only con that I found was that it wasn’t available in as many colors as I would have liked. Still, I am very choosy when it comes to colors so I think that not many others would find this a problem. It’s available in all the traditional blanket colors after all!

Vellux Blanket Review 2 – Samantha Dilon, TX:

I bought the vellux blanket King and vellux blanket queen (for me and for my sister) after getting to know that these blankets are hypo allergenic. We are allergic to a lot of things and both of us always had an allergy in the morning with our previous blanket. However, the difference was visible right after the first night of using these blankets. There was no allergy in the morning to suffer and this is what delights me the most. Many blanket companies say that their blankets are hypo allergenic but aren’t and I was happy to see that this wasn’t the case with Vellux blankets.

Moreover, while using the Vellux blanket, I was particularly impressed by the fact that it is very soft and plushy which really helped me have a sound sleep at night. My kids loved the blanket so much that I ended up buying one for them as well.

All in all, the two best qualities of Vellux blanket are that it is hypo allergenic and extremely soft. These two qualities make it the best for both kids and adults! I would rate them 5 out of 5!

Review from Customers

I purchased a Vellux Blanket for queen size bed and it is very nicely fitted, so will suit a lot like a duvet. I did not know a lot about Vellux blankets and bought the blanket for our guest bedroom just prior to Christmas. When we had friends drop by they went on and on about how delicate the blanket was. It wasn’t very long before I bought one for our own beds. Heres’ the thing, I am allergic to so many things and I noticed a difference on my very first night! I didn’t have the morning allergies!

I love the advantage that it’s extremely lightweight, but warm enough. I was truly happy to have bought the “Vellux Blanket”. It’s got the style as well as really feel that comes with being high-end at a affordable cost. It came with laundering and storage instructions and was packed in a plastic zip case. The directions had the “West Point Stevens Inc” name on it, so I am very assured of a quality product.

The vellux blanket will add a good extra layer of warmth that could be combined with the bed comforter during the winter or perhaps by itself when it’s a warmer season. My husband and I washed it in cold water before I using it but it didn’t shrink and moreover was even more supple than when we first got it.

If you are looking for a brand new look, for comfy cozy warmth for your bed, for holiday visitors, I would definitely recommend the Vellux Blanket. You are able to use it to wrap up in front of the fireplace or television and at this price you could get various colors for each and every room!
