Question: Is there now a problem with Vellux blankets having an unremovable chemical smell?  Our old one never had that.
Document: Regarding the smell people are talking about, it goes away after one washing. The blanket is close to what the original &#34;Made in America&#34; Martex Vellux blankets was. I had my old one for ten years before it started falling apart. This one is the same size (90&#34;x90&#34;) and feels perhaps a bit thinner.
I am very pleased with this Blanket, it is not as soft or velvety as my previous Vellux blankets but is still very warm and comfy. I would advise washing in warm water and tumble drying then airing for a few days before use to get rid of the chemical smell it also softens the blanket.But an excellent purchase.
This is a good and warm blanket. Had a little problem. Was trying to order a electric blanket and got this one instead. But it is such a nice blanket, little expensive, I kept it and placed another order for the electric blanket. Service was good.
I received this as a Christmas present and it is being returned. Not only was the blanket not soft, like vellux should be, but it was obviously treated with some sort of chemical. The blanket had an odd, waxy feel and a horrendous odor that gave me a terrible headache. Honestly, it smelled like it was soaked in pesticide.Based on the other reviews, it looks like purchasing this blanket is a real gamble.
Very nice & comfy. What I've grown to expect from Vellux blanket since it the third one we've owned over the years.
Will just leave one review as I purchases two colors. Love the warmth and feel of these blankets.Live in midwest so was using them early! !
Lovely warm blanket but it has developed bald spots after just a month or so of use, after just one washing. I love Vellux, and love this blanket, but the spots where it's down to a honeycomb of the backing makes this blanket unsightly and my rating only a 3 star instead of 5.
I have been using Vellux  blankets for many years, they hold up great and keep us warm.this blanket had a slight odor when it came, however once it was washed the odor was gone.
Very nice and soft. I use to have the Martha Stewart Vellux blankets, this blanket shedded when I washed it but still retained thickness. I just don't think this blanket is good to have when you have cats that lay on it. They rip it with their nails.
Ordered two of these Martex Vellux Blankets.They are an excellent quality blanket at an excellent price.Could not find these in the retail stores or catalogues.I have owned these before and know that they will last a veryvery long time. Glad I finally found replacements for onesI have had for years.
Answer: I washed mine. It doesn't smell. At all. It's soft and wonderful.
