It's perfectly normal to change your sheets regularly, but things get a bit less clear when it comes to throws.

Such products, as reported by ADVICE.NEWS , can be very different, and their material and frequency of use can greatly affect their cleanliness.

Here are some tips to help you know how often you should wash your bedspreads.

Occasional use

If you only use decorative throws occasionally, such as for special occasions or as interior accents, you may not need to wash them very often.

Simply remove any visible stains or dirt and air them out regularly to keep them fresh.

Regular use

If you use your throw on a regular basis, such as to snuggle up on the couch or as an extra layer on your bed, it's a good idea to wash it every few weeks or once a month.

This helps remove accumulated dust, sebum or odors.

Visible dirt or stains

If your decorative blanket is noticeably dirty, it is best to wash it as soon as possible.

Treating stains promptly can increase your chances of successful stain removal.

Pet hair or allergens

If you have pets or you or your family members suffer from allergies, you may want to wash your throw blankets more often.

Blankets can accumulate pet hair and allergens, so washing them every 1-2 weeks will help keep them clean and fresh.

Follow the care instructions

Always check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer.

They may have specific washing and care instructions for decorative blankets. Follow these instructions to avoid damaging the fabric or decorative elements.
