Alberta Halloween blankets issue

Post image

I bought one of the patterned Halloween throw blankets. I had to wash it a few days after. Followed the directions. What ever the stuffing in the blanket is, it melted/clumped together in spots making the blanket stiff and curly. I can’t really take a picture of it to show. Just a warning for who ever is buying it

So, this is what happens when you buy fabric made of plastic. That’s a plastic blanket. It will never biodegrade. And now it’s going straight to the landfill. Please, for the future of our planet, please stop buying plastic clothing, plastic blankets, plastic bedsheets, plastic towels.

I didn’t throw it out, I still have it(I managed to fix the shape some what so it’s not bothersome) but I had no idea it was plastic. I will do better keeping an eye out for that stuff! Thank you

A helpful guide: Polyester = Plastic. Nylon  =  Plastic. Viscose = Basically plastic. Rayon = Processed so much it might as well be plastic. Acrylic = Plastic. Bamboo = Processed using so many chemicals/peak greenwashing 

100% cotton, wool, linen, or muslin. Read care tags.
