Electric Blanket Safety: Key Rules to Follow

Electric blankets, a popular winter heating option, require careful use due to safety concerns. The London Fire Brigade warns against using them with airflow pressure relief mattresses, emollient creams, or hot water bottles. Regular checks for wear and tear, and adherence to safety guidelines, are crucial. Leading bed manufacturer Silentnight advises against using second-hand blankets and suggests replacing them every ten years. Always unplug blankets before sleeping, unless they have an all-night thermostat, and store them properly to protect internal wiring. DNN | The Daily News Now!
