A blanket that shrinks after a few cycles stops covering the bed properly. It looks worn out for guests, and hotels need to replace stock sooner than planned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wash blankets in cool or warm water (not hot), use a gentle or normal cycle with a proper load size, and dry on low to medium heat. Remove them while slightly damp when possible. Always follow the care label or manufacturer’s instructions. Heat and mechanical stress cause most shrinkage, and both are controllable.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide explains why hotel blanket shrinkage happens, how to prevent it in your laundry, and what to look for when buying new blankets.<\/span><\/p>\n
