Sunbeam Heated Electric Microplush Sherpa Throw Blanket, 60" x 50", Navy Buffalo Plaid

My mom uses this blanket 24/7. She's elderly and bedridden, suffering from Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. The blanket keeps her almost pain free. She loves the colorful paisley pattern. She spilled a whole glass of tomato juice on it a couple days after she got it and I was heartsick. There was no recourse but to wash it, and I knew from experience electric blankets rarely work after washing. I carefully followed instructions in the included manual, agitating in the washer on gentle cycle for only three minutes, rinsing on gentle for another three, and spinning dry for another three. I threw it over the shower rod to dry for 24 hours to be sure it was completely dry. It came through the wash beautifully, looking as fresh and new as it had the day it came out of the package. And when we plugged it in, it worked! I couldn't be happier with this purchase. It was worth every penny. I won't be afraid to wash it again (because Mom will spill again) and I would definitely purchase another. It would be a lovely gift for anyone!
