How to Care for Your Natural Alpaca Fibre Blanket
Your Australian-made alpaca blanket is a premium natural-fibre investment. With the right care, it will stay beautiful and luxuriously soft for many years to come.
Dry Cleaning — The Recommended Method
Because our alpaca blankets come in generous queen and king sizes, we strongly recommend taking them to a reputable, professional dry cleaner — one experienced with natural fibres such as wool and alpaca. The large format makes home washing impractical and increases the risk of shrinkage, stretching, or uneven drying. Trust a specialist to keep your blanket looking its best.
We suggest dry cleaning your blanket once per winter season — there is no need to clean it more frequently with proper everyday care.
Keep It Clean for Longer — Use a Quilt Cover
The simplest way to reduce how often your blanket needs cleaning is to place it inside a quilt cover. This protects the alpaca fibre from dust, body oils, and everyday use, keeping it fresh and clean for much longer between professional cleans.
Quick Care Tips
- Air your blanket regularly in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight
- Address small spots promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry flat
- Avoid hanging — always store and dry flat to maintain shape
- Store in your original packaging bag — the breathable bag your blanket arrived in is specially designed to protect the alpaca fibre during storage
- Add moth repellent tablets inside the storage bag to protect the natural fibre from moths and insects — replace them each season
Treat your alpaca blanket with care, and it will reward you with warmth and softness season after season.
