Yes! The blanket can be washed in a washing machine at 40-60 degrees. You can also clean the blanket by freezing it either in the freezer or by hanging it outside when the temperature is below freezing. This eliminates all mites and bacteria. The blanket can also be dry cleaned. Do not use bleach. We recommend air drying the weighted blanket afterwards. Be sure to stretch the blanket completely when drying. It is not recommended to use a tumble dryer. If you choose to do this anyway, it should be used with as few revolutions as possible. The blanket should not be ironed.
