How To Safely Use An Electric Blanket And Prevent A Fire

How do you safely use an electric blanket?

To safely use an electric blanket, firstly you must never fold the blanket. This will protect the internal wiring. Never leave the electric blanket on overnight unless it has a thermostatic control. If it hasn't got a thermostatic control, always switch off the blanket when you get into bed. Never get water onto the electric blanket. If you do get water onto the electric blanket, don't dry it out by turning it on. Remove the blanket from the electric socket and dry it out naturally and safely. Replace the electric blanket every ten years.
