Life is hard enough, we certainly aren’t going to give you more chores.  We chose the fleece and shag fabric because they are easy to care for.  We pre-wash everything, so don’t be afraid to wash that bad boy.  Throw your blanket in the washer and dryer.  Nothing is better than a warm Big Babe blanket on a cold night.  The only tricky part with the Big Babe blanket, is it usually turns into a giant ball in the dryer and you have to shake it out and dry it again.  We wash ours in a front loading dryer and it usually takes about 30 minutes for the 2 dry cycles.  It’s worth the extra effort.  These blankets are fool proof and made to last.
