does this have to heat set and does the fabric have to be washed first

Doesn't need to be heat set & for best bond pre-wash fabric without fabric softeners.

You need to wash it before you use it (per instructions...so read the laundry instructions [hand wash or machine wash]) and wash as you feel its needed.

I've never washed it, but the tag states it's machine washable in cold temperature. I have the king size, so it would most likely need washed in a high capacity commercial washer/dryer.

I haven't washed it yet but the tags clearly say machine wash cold, gentle cycle and tumble dry with low temperatures. Light iron as needed. When I purchased it in order to get the wrinkles out I ironed it lightly using a pressing cloth to prevent scorching.

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!

Great question. I would recommend to hang dry or put in dryer with no or very low heat. If heat check periodically every 5-10 minutes.

I just wash it as I do any other bedding. I am careful when I dry it to not dry it at a really hot setting. It has been washed several times and is still great. I highly recommend this cover.

I sent this blanket back b/c it had no pre-heat on it.But, most electric blankets u can wash in washing machine. Not real hot water and DO NOT put in dryer.If u read your instructions it should tell you all of this..

I have been washing warm & drying low. I always wash separately because you cannot use fabric softener.To answer your question, I'm not sure which is correct, but my way seems to work fine.

No, care for it normally in the washer & dryer. Easy to care for and takes a light ironing if you want. I really like mine.

Yes. I washed it. But didn't use dryer as I am not sure if the polyester material can handle the heat. works out fine so far

I washed mine in the washer with warm water and let it air dry. It was totally fine!

Haven't had to wash the bed yet but you could put the entire bed in a front loading (not top loading) washer without a problem. I wouldn't use hot water though. The bottom of the bed is not fabric but a plastic type of material.

Yes to washing, I set mine on gentle. I didn't use the dryer though. I let mine air dry.

That is how I washed it but I but my dryer settings on low heat. I did not let it dry long and I hung it up slightly damp. Did not have any problems.

The fabric is actually a cover that snaps on and off, so it can be washed. The heating element is inside a flexible sealed plastic casing.

You don't have to wash it. If you have time you can wash it and dry it and take it out wrinkle free. Just washed after first use and it was still wrinkle free after drying. The key to drying and producing it wrinkle free is do not let it stop at the end of the drying cycle. Take it out carefully and spread it over the couch and lightly fold.
