Easy trick: take the blanket outside & shake it like crazy before washing it! I have done this for years with dog blankets, beds, and towels I have used for drying them after bathing. This simple extra step works wonders.

Well there are a few choices, you can put the blanket through the dryer so that the lint catcher catches most of the hair, but wether you choose to do so or not you should wash it seperate from any other clothes, then make sure you run an emty load. You can also wash it along with rags used for messes, this helps catch the hair. Or you can also take it to the laundry mat. I know alot of people who do this, just remember the people who will use the washer after you.

I wash my dog blankets with my washer and the hairs don't get on my clothes after I wash the blanket. So it will be okay. I hope you have a lint trap on your hose though, there will be a lot of hair. I even have a nice dryer which removes all the hair from his blanket.

Wash the dog blanket separate from the clothes, then run the washer through a cycle with nothing in it before you wash clothes in it.

Wash the dog blanket by itself or before you thrw itin with the regular wash put it in the dryer for a few minutes and the lint filter will take the hair off the blanket then wash it!

I have a small blanket for my cats. They're always on my bed, so that has a little hair on it, too. I just washed the blanket with the sheets. When you put everything in the dryer, the hair will come out in the lint trap. (I guess this will work if you allow your dog on your bed.)

Wash it alone. Remove the blanket and then put the washer through the rinse cycle again, empty.

'Fraid so.
If you wash them in a separate load it will minimize the hair transfer.
I know people who have separate machines for their clothes and the dog blankets. I wish I did. Someday......
Take the blankets to the laundromat. But be polite and clean out the machines when you are done.

Wash the blanket in a separate load. It will be fine.
