Reviews
I love this product, with the Rug proof
"Using this and following up with rug proof, I can wash and dry my blankets and store them for use all in a day. They remain waterproof and I do not have blankets hanging everywhere for a week. This saves those now impossible to get size 90” non draft blankets. Now if I could just find the time to wash them and get them ready for next fall."
"Works VERY WELL…"
