To keep your Mohair plaid looking as stunning as the day you got it, we’ve crafted a guide filled with some essential care tips.
How to care for your Mohair blanket
Mohair is a luxurious natural fiber known for its incredible softness, lightweight feel, and shiny appearance. With just a little care and attention, your mohair blanket will maintain its beauty and functionality for many winters to come. It will continue to be a cozy companion, offering that comforting warmth you adore while retaining its silky texture and luminous sheen.
The best part is that caring for your mohair blanket doesn’t require a lot of effort or complicated tools. All you need is a stiff clothing brush to remove any loose fibers or dust and a small spray bottle filled with water to refresh it and keep it looking its best.
With these simple steps, your mohair blanket will remain a timeless addition to your home, season after season.
Brush in the right direction
Gently brush your blanket in the direction of the fibers.
How do you know you’re brushing the right way? When brushed correctly, the mohair will feel smooth. If you brush against the natural direction, the fibers will feel rough and bristly, making it harder to brush through.
Check for dryness
After brushing, check the brush for any fibers. If you notice some, it means the blanket is dry and could use a little moisture. Lightly mist the blanket with water, then brush it again. Once it’s dry, your blanket will look as fresh and soft as when you first brought it home.
Preparing for storage
As winter ends and you’re ready to store your blanket for the warmer months, give it a little shake, air it out, and give it one last gentle brush. Then fold it neatly and store it in a plastic bag to keep it in perfect condition for next winter. Remember, mohair is a natural fiber, so some shedding is completely normal. Don’t worry - it’s part of the charm owing such a lovely, natural product.
Enjoy cosy, warm winter nights wrapped in the softness of your mohair blanket.
