Key Takeaways:
Fabric Composition: Made from 95% polyester and 5% spandex. The high-grade polyester creates a silky rabbit-fur feel, while spandex maintains the signature elastic ruched folds. High heat ruins both.
Core Care Rules: Machine wash cold (≤30°C/86°F) on a delicate cycle, and tumble dry on low heat. Never use bleach or fabric softener.
The #1 Mistake: High-heat drying and ironing. Heat melts synthetic fibers, causing permanent matted fur and ruined textures.
Restoring Softness: Air-drying or low-heat drying followed by a gentle shake easily restores plush softness and natural ruched folds.
This blanket combines two high-performance synthetic fibers. The 95% ultra-fine polyester mimics natural rabbit fur, providing exceptional warmth and softness. The 5% spandex gives the fabric elasticity, creating its signature 3D ruched (pleated) texture.
However, both fibers are heat-sensitive. High water temperatures and hot air cause two major issues:
Matted Fur: Extreme heat melts fine polyester fiber ends. They stick together, leaving a rough, scratchy texture.
Lost Elasticity: Heat damages spandex fibers over time, causing the blanket to stretch out and lose its ruched shape.
A simple cold-water, low-heat care routine preserves the silky touch and lush texture for years.
| Care Step | Recommended Method | Benefit | What NOT to Do |
| Water Temperature | Machine wash cold (≤30°C / 86°F) | Protects fiber shape and spandex elasticity | Hot or warm water |
| Wash Cycle | Gentle or delicate cycle | Minimizes agitation to prevent pilling and stretch | Heavy-duty or normal cycle |
| Detergent | Mild liquid detergent | Preserves fiber softeness and sheen | Harsh detergents or bleach additives |
| Bleach | Never use bleach | Chemical agents destroy polyester fibers | All bleach and spot-stain chemicals |
| Fabric Softener | Do not use | Softener coats fibers, making fur matted and sticky | Liquid softeners and dryer sheets |
| Drying Method | Tumble dry low (≤60°C / 140°F) or line dry | Low heat keeps fur fluffy without melting fibers | High-heat drying (causes matted fur) |
| Drying Position | Dry flat in shade | Prevents UV damage and fabric stretching | Direct sunlight or hanging on hangers |
| Ironing | Never iron | Direct heat melts synthetic fibers instantly | Steamers or hot flat irons |
High drying temperatures and ironing cause irreversible damage to faux fur.
When temperatures exceed safe limits, polyester fibers singe and fuse together. Once synthetic fur matts, no washing step can restore its original feel.
Always select Low Heat or Air Fluff on your dryer. For best results, lay the blanket flat to air-dry in a shaded area.
A: No. Water temperatures above 30°C (86°F) weaken spandex fibers and coarsen polyester fur. Always wash on cold using a delicate cycle.
A: Wash the blanket again in cold water without detergent. Lay it flat until slightly damp, then gently brush the fur with a soft pet slicker brush or wide-tooth comb. Let it air-dry completely.
A: Fabric softener residue usually causes this issue. Softeners coat fine fibers and glue them together. Run an extra rinse cycle with cold water to wash away residue and restore fluffiness.
A: No. The 5% spandex blend holds its shape well. As long as you avoid high heat and heavy agitation, the ruched folds remain intact.
A: Minor shedding on a new blanket is normal. It comes from loose fibers left over during the cutting process. A gentle cold wash before first use easily removes all loose fibers.
