How to Care for Your VOITED productsUpdated a month ago
Your VOITED blanket (or poncho, or jacket, or pet blanket!) is built to handle adventures—mud, sand, rain, and even a little dog hair. The good news? Caring for it is simple. With the right wash and dry routine, your VOITED gear will stay soft, warm, and water-resistant for years.
🧼 General Care Guidelines
Machine washable: All VOITED blankets and companions can be machine washed.
Temperature: Wash at 30 °C / 86 °F (cold or cool wash is best).
Detergent: Use mild or eco-friendly detergent. Skip fabric softeners and bleach—they can damage water-repellent coatings.
Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid tumble drying to preserve insulation and coatings.
Storage: Store your blanket dry, loosely folded, and uncompressed (don’t leave it squished in pillow mode long-term).
🛏️ 4-in-1 PillowBlankets™ (CloudTouch®, Fleece, Ripstop, Queen, Mini Traveler)
Wash at 30 °C.
Use gentle cycle, minimal detergent.
Do not tumble dry—hang to dry naturally.
Shake out and fluff once dry to restore loft.
If you use a Liner (CloudTouch®, Cotton, Waterproof): Wash separately on the same gentle settings.
🎒 Camping Companions
NeckPack Travel Pillow Blanket: Remove inner pillow, wash blanket at 30 °C. Pillow core can be spot-cleaned.
Slumber Jacket: Wash at 30 °C with zippers closed. Air dry on a hanger.
Slumber Zip Sack: Treat like a sleeping bag—wash at 30 °C, mild detergent, air dry flat.
Picnic & Beach Blanket: Shake off sand first, machine wash at 30 °C, hang dry.
Trooper Poncho-Blanket: Wash at 30 °C, gentle cycle, hang dry.
🐾 Pet Blanket
Wash at 30 °C—yes, even after muddy paws!
Use mild detergent.
Air dry.
For quick clean-ups: wipe the water-repellent side with a damp cloth.
🌱 Care Tips to Make It Last
Avoid high heat: Heat breaks down recycled fibres and water-repellent coatings.
Pack smart: Only compress into pillow/pack mode for travel or storage; let it breathe when at home.
Quick refresh: Hang outside for a breeze-through to freshen between washes.
Reproofing: If water beads stop forming on the surface, refresh the DWR with a spray-on fluorine-free treatment (e.g., Nikwax).
❓ Care FAQs
Q: Can I use a dryer if I’m in a hurry?
A: We don’t recommend it—air drying is best. If you must, tumble dry on the lowest heat with a couple of clean tennis balls to help re-loft.
Q: Will machine washing remove the water-repellent coating?
A: Over time, yes. That’s normal with any outdoor gear. You can restore it with an eco-friendly reproofing spray.
Q: How often should I wash my VOITED blanket?
A: Only when needed. Spot clean small marks. Full wash after heavy use (e.g., post-camping trip).
Q: Do VOITED blankets trap smells?
A: The recycled Ripstop and fleece are quick-dry and breathable, so they resist odours better than cotton. A simple air-out in the sun often works wonders.
✨ With these easy steps, your VOITED gear will keep adventuring with you for years—soft, warm, and planet-friendly.
