A freshly washed blanket can still be covered in dog or cat hair. If you\u2019re wondering how to get pet hair off blankets in a washing machine, start before the wash: remove loose fur, check the care label, and give the blanket enough room to move. Washing helps clean the fabric, but it may not release every embedded strand.<\/p>\n

Quick answer: the best order for removing pet hair<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Lift off loose hair with a lint roller or fabric-safe brush.<\/li>\n
  2. If tumble drying is allowed, run the dry blanket on a no-heat setting briefly, checking after about 10 minutes. Clean the lint screen afterward.<\/li>\n
  3. Wash using the blanket\u2019s care instructions and the correct detergent dose.<\/li>\n
  4. Use an extra rinse if needed and permitted by your washer\u2019s instructions.<\/li>\n
  5. Dry as directed, remove any remaining hair, and wipe out the washer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The optional dryer-first step follows Maytag\u2019s dry, wash, and dry guidance. Skip it for blankets that cannot be tumble dried.<\/p>\n

    1. Check the blanket before loading it<\/h2>\n

    Read the sewn-in care label rather than guessing from how the blanket feels. Check whether machine washing is allowed, the recommended temperature, and drying restrictions. Electric, weighted, wool, and backed blankets can have special requirements. A washable cover does not necessarily mean the whole blanket can go in the machine.<\/p>\n

    Inspect seams and edges, too. Set aside a blanket with loose filling or damaged fabric until it is repaired. For general fabric care, see Whirlpool\u2019s blanket washing guide.<\/p>\n

    2. Remove visible fur while the blanket is dry<\/h2>\n

    Spread the blanket out and work in sections with a lint roller or a brush suitable for the fabric. Turn it over and check both sides, especially folded edges and your pet\u2019s favorite sleeping spot. Test any tool on a small area first; avoid scraping delicate knits or pulling at loops.<\/p>\n

    This is the stage to collect obvious clumps in the trash. Don\u2019t expect the wash cycle to carry away a thick layer of fur. If the label allows it, the short no-heat tumble described above can help with loose hair before washing.<\/p>\n

    3. Choose washing machine settings for the fabric<\/h2>\n

    There is no universal \u201cpet blanket\u201d setting. The right choice depends on the blanket and the machine:<\/p>\n
