how do you wash the heating blanket

In the washer. We've had this blanket for a year now and love it! It washes and dries easily like a regular blanket. Did I say I love it? ;)

IMO you don't. Washing will substantially reduce or end the service life of any electric blanket. But, if you must, I'd say spot wash only by hand. The label says delicate cycle in the washer is ok and line dry. Well maybe, but when I've tried that with other electric blankets they ceased to function. I wouldn't recommend it.

The heating blanket stopped working properly shortly after it was received so there never was a need to wash it.

Yes, the cord can be disconnected from bottom so blanket can be washed. Directions say machine wash, although I haven't yet washed mine.

I agree with mrsgonzalez - I always have a receiving blanket covering the podster - I have plenty of those, so it's easier to wash those than the cover.

Fairly Easy. The inside pad that covers the heating element completely comes off and can be put in the washing machine. The outside can easily be sponged clean.

I don't remember what they said in the directions. I always wash mine by hand. So maybe that is what the directions said. Watch how high your heat is with it.

Wash with hot water and scrub brush (no soap). Dry on stove top burner. Let cool down then rub with oil.

It's pretty simple. You just unscrew the bolt that holds the heating element in place and then remove the whole coil. After that you just clean everything. It's a little harder for me because I line the grill pan with lava rocks.

Pull the clear bottom part from the top black part. The clear bottom can be washed like by hands or dishwasher and the top black part just needs wiping with a damped clothe.

Use a wash cloth dipped in a solution of warm water and a little mild laundry detergent.

Just turn it inside out and clean it with soap and water. Hang it up to dry.

I agree with you Carole about heating it up in microwave & washing. I am going to wash on delicate and air dry. I will let you know how it turns out.Thanks for the suggestion.Washed in washing machine on hand washable with Woolite. I added a towel so it wouldn't bounce around so much. Turned out clean and I am air drying, taking awhile but so worth it!

The sleeping blanket is washable. I do not place it in the dryer on high heat. I will dry it on low heat or dry it outdoors.

I wash mine like so: tilt it and keep it looking (bristles) down under the pouring lukewarm water and using shampoo to wash it. Wash out the shampoo thoroughly and then gently squeeze the bristles to get some of the water out, dab it on a clean towel, and just let it air dry.

I do not believe it is washable, the heating element is sewn into the sandwich fabric with the cord stitch in so this is not washable.

We have not had the need to wash/dry. I would note that the warmth is not what it was originally and we are considering looking for another blanket. Recent reviews have not been favorable to Sunbeam.

I believe it is machine washable but I cover mine with a mattress pad so have not washed the heated one.
