Cleaning an electric blanket
Our cat got shut in accidentally & peed on our bed, just what you don't want
to find as you prepare to go to bed. :-( The pee managed to soak through the duvet, the sheets, the matress cover & the electric blanket. To be honest, I can't smell much on the blanket but I *know* it's got cat wee in it and I'd rather it didn't. It's not a washable blanket and I'm wondering if there are any options other than binning it. Would sponging and drying the affected area be safe or a recipe for disaster? Tim |

Tim I think thats one of those things thats just not worth it. With water washing theres always a tiny risk of arcover from trapped water - very tiny - if its done properly, I've done it for decades and not lost anything yet, but its not zero. You cant let go of a live blanket. Dont bother. NT |

Tim Chuck it in the bin ya clatty monkey . FFS..How much does an elec blanket cost .Better still dont buy a replacement .Do without or buy a HWB and fill it from the hot tap .

A little bit a catty wee wee never did anyone any harm. Ugh. You aren't the lady I dealt with on Freecycle are you? Her nickname was on Freecycle Pussy Galore. I took an electric fire to her house (full of expectations...) and when she opened the door the stench really hit me. She had cats everywhere. I pushed the fire into her front door and made a quick escape - the memories of the stench are with me months later. |
