Q: How long do I need to dry the blanket after being washed?

A: Due to the special material of the blanket, in order to maintain its cooling effect, it can only be air-dried, so the drying time will be relatively longer.

If you spread the blanket out completely and hang it up so that every part can be exposed to the air, with good temperature, humidity, and ventilation, it can dry quickly, usually taking about 4 to 8 hours. If the space is limited and you have to fold it for air drying, it will take a little longer.
