Using your Sposh Cotton Blanket is a breeze. Just spread it out on your bed, sofa, or anywhere you want to get cozy. You can use it while reading a book, watching TV, or taking a nap. When it comes to maintenance, simply toss it in the washing machine according to the normal cotton - fabric settings. But be aware of the warning. The product's packaging contains vinyl chloride, which can be harmful. If you're in California, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for more details. Always make sure to keep the blanket away from sharp objects to avoid tears.
