Caring For A Photo Blanket Is As Easy As 1,2,3!

The photo blanket is one of the best, most unique gifts you can possibly give. The fact that they incorporate, in stunning detail and vivid color, a personal photograph or other piece of artwork, makes them so special. They are 100% "made in the USA" cotton which makes them soft and huggable and will get a lot of use. This means they will need to be cleaned once in a while.

No, Not My Blanket in the Wash!

If you're anything like Linus from the Peanuts cartoons, you'll want to drag your favorite photo blanket everywhere. And you'll not want to give it up. But the big issue Linus had was the darn blanket never got washed. You and I can both imagine how utterly dirty that poor blue blanket must have been. Heck, it was dragged through pumpkin patches, down streets, across playgrounds. Well, you need not worry, because your special blanket is a pretty tough customer and won't mind an occasional wash here and there.

If you're like most people, you might be concerned about putting such a beautiful, finely detailed woven blanket into the wash. Fear of ruining it is top of mind. Things like having it shrink to the size of a hamster pillow or finding all the eye popping color has run off down the drain are a few examples. Maybe the photo blanket just needs an expensive and inconvenient dry-cleaning? Well, you can rest assured; none of those things are going to happen.
