5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life of your weighted blanket. Always refer to the care label attached to the product for specific instructions.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your weighted blanket, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
