Does this blanket have an oily odor? What are the care instructions?

Yes, it smells like it was made in a barn. I have mine airing out presently.

It doesn't have an odor. I don't have the blanket with me but never put wool in the washing machine. I would spot clean or take to dry cleaners. But I've had mine for a few months and it still looks great, even with cats on it constantly.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

I have an original one of these, 100% wool and I put it in the washer constantly on gentle cycle, cool water! hang to dry. I got rid of the "oily" smell in one wash. I wash ALL my woolens, even my cashmere, in an appropriate soap for woolens. They come out beautifully! Dry cleaner fluid damages wool. Wool is from sheep, they stand out all day in the rain...the only thing you should not do with wool is heat or high agitation, which will felt the wool. BTW, my seller told me there was no order as well, they must not have a nose on their faces, the odor is overwhelming right out of the box!

the first week I own the blanket yes there was a small order but it went away after a little while

I purchased the blanket 6 months ago and used it since and not washed it yet. There is a chemical smell when you first open the package but it disappears in about 2 days if you just air-out the blanket. I have sheets below the blanket and a comforter over the blanket, so it doesn't get dirty. I've found that these type of blankets last longest if you don't wash them too often. I wash mine 2x a year but I don't have kids, dogs, no smoking, no eating in bed, etc., so things stay pretty clean. Hope that helps!

No, mines didn't have any Odor to it. I put it on as soon as it got delivered to my house and slept fine that very night and I'm very sensitive to scents.

We unpacked it, put it on the bed, and have slept on it for months. I've never noticed an odor of any kind.

The tag says it is machine washable AND dry-able (low heat, gentle cycle, remove promptly). I haven't washed ours yet, but just plan on following the instructions on the label. It's a nice, well-made blanket & should clean up nicely.

No I did not notice any type of odor from this loveseat....the plastic protective shipping cover may have had a small odor...not the couch

I've been using Windex Multi-Surface Vinegar. It is marketed as a gentle surface cleaner. It has a bit of a sweet scent, doesn't smell like vinegar. It's been working great on my blanket so far.

Mine did not smell very strong. I put it out over the weekend. I put mine on the mattress and then put a mattress pad over the foam pad. It still feels soft and no oder.

I didn't notice a smell. I layers it out for 24 hours and then layer it on my bed, put sheets over it and never noticed a smell. But it's so comfortable. Worth every penny.

I cannot smell any chemical type odor from the blanket, unsure of the Antimicorbial treatment. It is very warm after covering with it for a few minutes

I think there are washing instructions but I think washing mine is what messed it up. The cotton is all separated and the white has came apart from the blue. I've had this blanket for approximately 6 months.

I have not washed any blankets with it, but I think it would be great. I love the light cedar smell that it leaves behind.

I love this blanket, so do my dogs. I brush the blanket lightly and wash it alone in the washer with soap and fabric softener. You also can use a dryer sheet instead of liquid softener.

I never noticed any smell when I received it. I have had it over a year now and after washing it yesterday I checked and it smells like my laundry soap. I would give it a wash that should work.
