Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Orchard Manor, a popular B&B in Stratford-upon-Avon, needed to replace its collection of ageing guest room throws. Their existing blankets were showing signs of wear and took a frustratingly long time to dry, causing bottlenecks on busy changeover days.
"The difference was immediate. Our rooms look smarter, and the feedback on comfort has been lovely. More importantly for us, they wash and dry so much faster, which has made our laundry process far more efficient. A simple change that made a big impact."
David Chen – Owner, The Orchard Manor
The B&B reported a 25% reduction in drying times for their bedding loads, allowing them to turn rooms around much faster during peak season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, unpack the blanket and give it a shake to let the fibres breathe.
- We recommend washing it once before first use to ensure maximum softness and remove any packaging dust.
- Place it as a decorative throw at the end of the bed or use it as an extra layer between the sheet and duvet.
Keeping It Going
- Always machine wash at or below 40°C to protect the fibres and the anti-pilling finish.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat as it can damage the fleece.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibres and reduce the blanket's softness over time.
- Check for any snags or loose threads as part of your regular linen inspection and trim if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How big is this king size blanket exactly?
A: It measures 2800mm in width by 2400mm in length, providing generous coverage for a standard king size bed.
Q: Can I tumble dry this fleece blanket?
A: Yes, it can be tumble dried. We recommend using a low heat setting to maintain its softness and prevent damage to the fibres.
Q: What exactly does 'anti-pilling' do?
A: It's a special fabric treatment that prevents the formation of small, fuzzy bobbles on the surface, keeping the blanket looking smooth and new for longer.
Q: Will the cream colour stain easily?
A: Like any light-coloured fabric, it can stain if spills aren't treated promptly. However, the polyester material is generally less absorbent than pure cotton, making it easier to clean.
Q: Is this blanket warm enough for winter?
A: It's a perfect mid-weight blanket. It's ideal for adding an extra layer of warmth over a duvet in winter or for use on its own during cooler summer evenings.
Q: What is 'blanket stitching'?
A: It's a durable type of stitch used to finish the edges of the blanket, which prevents the material from unravelling and fraying with use and washing.
Q: Does this blanket feel synthetic or plasticky?
A: Not at all. It's a modern polar fleece designed to be incredibly soft, breathable, and warm, mimicking the feel of a much more delicate material.
Q: Is it fire retardant?
A: This blanket is not advertised as fire retardant. You should always check the specific fire safety regulations required for your type of establishment and choose appropriate bedding.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy an 'Anti-Pilling' Finish is a Must-Have
Ever notice how some fleece jumpers or blankets get covered in tiny, scruffy fabric balls after a few washes? That's called 'pilling', and it makes even new items look old and worn. An anti-pilling finish is a special treatment applied to the fabric that strengthens the fibres and prevents them from breaking loose and forming these bobbles.
Think of it like hairspray for fabric; it helps everything stay smooth and in place, even under the stress of a commercial washing machine. For a hotel or B&B, this is crucial. It means your blankets will continue to look pristine and feel soft for your guests, wash after wash, protecting your investment and maintaining your high standards.
