Question

Good Evening, can you please tell me how to prevent blankets, mattress covers and other large items, from rolling up in a ball leaving the inside very wet? Thank-you

Hi XXXXXXXXXXX;

Try putting a clean sneaker in the dryer with them. Tie the shoe lace to one corner of the blanket. Or try placing a tennis ball on one corner of the blanket. Use a sharp exacto knife and cut two slots in the ball about 1/3 the way around at opposite sides.

The extra weight will cause the blanket to tumble and not just spin in a circle.

What the goal here is, is to create a point on the blanket that is heavyer than the rest of the blanket.

 

Please post any other concerns you may have here.

Best regards, XXX XXXX XXXXXX
