BLANKET An attractive tartan design waterproof blanket, essential when going for a picnic, to a festival, going to the beach, camping, etc. With the velcro attached to the rug they fold up to just approx. 24cm x 16cm and have a handy carry handle attached so are very easy to carry around. Dimensions when open are a generous 148cm x 115cm (approx.). With its polyester surface and PVC backing these are both waterproof and sand proof. Far more practical than fleece blankets as a simple shake and a quick wipe down ensures it is clean in no time. Fleece blankets will always harbour sand and food, no matter how many times you shake them. Hand washable with warm water and mild soap, although if they are wiped clean immediately after use this shouldn't be necessary. Do not machine wash or tumble dry and line dry away from direct sunlight.
