[quote=Anonymous]This method works for blankets up to queen size. If thin enough, it might work for kind size, but most blankets and bedspreads are too heavy/thick for this method beyond a queen size. To get started, fold the blanket in half lengthwise. Set it in a very clean bathtub or shower stall. Next, fold into thirds lengthwise, then roll it up starting at the short end, like you're rolling a jelly roll. It may help to wear washing up (dish) gloves while wringing). Some water will naturally be squeezed out during this process. Move the jelly roll to where it's up against the long side of the tub, closest to you, and lean onto the blanket with your hands positioned about hip width apart on top of it. Lean into it so that you are using your weight to press the water out, moving your hands down the length of the jelly roll. When you get to the end, give the jelly roll a quarter turn and repeat the leaning/pressing step. Keep rolling/leaning/pressing for a few minutes. Leave it for an hour so that more of the water can naturally drain to the bottom, then repeat the process once more, until enough water is extruded from the blanket that it can be folded over two wooden, plastic, or metal-backed chairs, or a drying rack, set in the tub. It will take a while for the blanket to dry (2-3 days), but if you have a patio or balcony, and it's warm outside, you can speed up the process by letting it air dry outside while hanging over the rack or two chairs.[/quote]
