How do I get the smell out of a new 100% Acrylic blanket?

I bought this Very large fuzzy blanket and I have washed it twice now and it just has this irritating smell (it's NOT a dirty, or soiled smell). I looked at the label to make sure I was washing it correctly, but it's still has a strange smell. Is there any kind of deodorizer or cleaning soap or solution for washing 100% acrylic fabric??Please helpHow do I get the smell out of a new 100% Acrylic blanket?
That's highly unusual. It could still be loaded with formaldahyde. Don't use the blanket.





Can you tell me what brand the blanket is and where it was manufactured? I may be able to get you an accurate answer.How do I get the smell out of a new 100% Acrylic blanket?

Wash it with vinegar. It will also make the blanket feel softer and it WON't smell like vinegar when it is finished.
This time when you wash it, When you get to the rinse cycle add 2 cups of white vinegar, that should do it. Vinegar is an odor eater. The smell could be from the chemicals they use ,to keep it new looking.
