If you really feel like your entire blanket needs a wash, consider taking it to a local laundromat for its commercial machines. Either way, wash in cold water and either air-dry it flat or dry it on low heat (be warned—weighted blankets feel like they weigh 1,000 pounds when wet). You might have to dry it a few times to get it back to its original, fluffy shape. You can fold and store it through the sweltering nights, and it’ll be ready and waiting for you in the fall.
