December 16, 2025Tortilla Blankets as Conversation-Starters: Fun Décor Without Clutter
December 17, 2025Tortilla blankets are fun and charming, but especially due to how cozy they are, they can collect odors and irritants that need to be washed away to keep it fun and charming, and to keep them soft and vibrant over time, it is important to keep them maintained. Fortunately, it is not difficult to maintain a tortilla blanket.
Wash separately and gently
Washing them individually gently in cold water is recommended for best results, but first you should check the care label. Lint buildup is a problem, but it can be avoided if you wash them with other similar soft fabrics and with tiles and jeans, as they can cause a lot of friction which can fade the print.
Avoid using detergents with stronger chemicals as well as fabric softeners
The balance of other detergents would cause damage to the blanket, and softeners aren’t even really needed, as they can cause the blanket to feel plush over time.
Nix bleach, harsh chemicals, and cleaning surface stains
These enemies of printed blankets can even cause discoloration. If needed, instead of scrubbing the blanket, simply dabbing the surface with a cold, lightly soaped cloth will suffice.
Low heat or air dry
When washing a blanket, it is important to consider how it will be dried as well. Using high heat to dry can result in it losing fibers and weakening the design. It is best to either air dry or use a low heat setting, as this will help stop any shrinking and keep the blanket soft.
Keep it fluffy in between washes
If you want to keep your tortilla blanket from getting stiff and crunchy, make sure to shake it out before and after every use. Coming in and out of air conditions can make it feel stiff, so a light fluff in the dryer can help bring the softness back and stop the material from getting damaged.
A few simple habits can help keep the blanket nice, overall gentle washing and low heat results in the blanket staying soft and cozy. You will always have a warm blanket ready to be wrapped in whenever you want!
