FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the blanket?
The blanket measures approximately 145cm x 80cm.
Is the entire blanket waterproof, or just the backing?
The PVC backing is waterproof and moisture-proof, designed to protect from damp ground. The Oxford fabric top may absorb some moisture but is easy to wipe clean.
Can this blanket be machine washed?
No, this blanket is not suitable for machine washing or tumble drying. It should be spot cleaned or hand washed.
How is the blanket secured for storage?
It features a Hook and Loop fastening system that allows for quick and secure folding.
What is the material of the blanket?
The blanket is made from durable Oxford fabric with a waterproof PVC backing.
Is this blanket suitable for a family of four?
While it can accommodate up to 3 people comfortably, it might be a bit snug for a family of four depending on desired space.
How do I clean the PVC backing?
Wipe the PVC backing with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before folding to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
Blanket remains damp after use.
Ensure the blanket is fully air-dried in a well-ventilated area before storing. Check that the PVC backing is also dry.
Hook and Loop fastener is not sticking.
Clean the Hook and Loop surfaces by brushing away any dirt, lint, or debris. Ensure the surfaces are dry when folding.
Water seeps through the fabric.
While the backing is waterproof, the Oxford fabric itself may absorb some moisture if left in standing water for extended periods. Ensure the blanket is placed on a surface where water does not pool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unfold the blanket and lay it flat on your desired surface, ensuring the red gingham side faces upwards for maximum comfort.
Compatibility:
This blanket is compatible with most outdoor surfaces including grass, sand, gravel, and park grounds. It is best used on relatively flat surfaces. Due to its waterproof backing, it is particularly suitable for areas where ground moisture is a concern.
Care:
- Cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For more significant cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cool water. Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow the blanket to air dry completely, preferably in a well-ventilated area, before folding and storing. Ensure both the fabric and the PVC backing are dry to prevent mildew.
- Storage: After cleaning and drying, fold the blanket using the Hook and Loop fasteners. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and material integrity.
