Troubleshooting
Blanket feels damp after use on wet ground.
Ensure the PVC backing was fully in contact with the ground. For persistent dampness, check for any tears or imperfections in the backing that may require repair or replacement.
Hook and Loop fastener is not secure.
Clean any debris or lint from the Hook and Loop strips. Ensure the blanket is folded evenly before fastening.
Material has a persistent odor.
Wipe the blanket with a mild detergent and water solution, then allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, preferably in sunlight.
Stains are difficult to remove.
For tough stains, gently scrub with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Rinse the area thoroughly with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely.
