Crocheted Afghans
How should I clean Afghans?
I recieved a bunch of crochet afghans for my son when he was born. How should I wash them? Should I use a special detergant for them. He is a year old now so it doesn’t have to be a baby detergant.
I havn’t even let my son use them yet. I’m too afraid he is going to rip them apart.
Should I use a gentle cycle?
Any crocheted item made of acrylic or cotton yarn can be washed in the washing machine. I wash my afghans on a gentle cycle.
You can tumble dry and hang to dry the remainder.
If you have an extremely delicate item or an item that has a loose piece of yarn, you need to take extra care that it doesn’t unravel (either by handwashing or having it dry cleaned.)
Just an FYI, if you ever inherit a vintage crocheted item, I recommend using Euclean wash. I’ve used this product to clean a doily my great-grandmother made, and I was really impressed with the results.
