- Spread the blanket out on a flat surface and identify where the electric components are. Usually, they show up clearly on both sides of the blanket.
- Make a tiny hole in the blanket at the cord’s entry location. The main cord enters the blanket at this point.

- To get rid of as much of the blanket as possible, you should sever the connections connecting it.
- Comb the blanket and look for any exposed wires.
- Cut a tiny hole with the scissors just above the exposed wires, and start the process of re-pulling the wires through the opening. Repeat this process until no more wires can be removed.
- Close the little opening with a hand stitch of thread and needle, then go on to another area of the blanket.
- If there are any electrical components or wires still inside the blanket, they can be removed one at a time by carefully locating them, cutting small holes, and drawing them out, and then closing the holes with hand-sewn patchwork.

It may take more time than you anticipate to remove the thermostat and snip each wire from the electric blanket.
Step 1. Prepare and check the electric blanket
The first and most important step in dismantling the wiring of any electric or heated blanket is to unplug it. If it is still plugged into an outlet, you could be seriously hurt or killed by the electric current. If you want to learn the ins and outs of your electric blanket, it’s advisable to consult the manual.

If you lay the blanket flat on a surface and feel or look for the wiring and electrical components, you’ll be able to find them more quickly. Then, locate the point at where the primary cord attaches to the blanket and create a small opening there. Use the opening you made to access the wires within the blanket you created by cutting this cord.
Start by removing as many cables as you can, and then stop.
Step 3. Remove the wires of the blanket
After you’ve removed the main cord and wires, lay the blanket down flat and smooth it out again to see if there are any lingering electrical components inside. It is usually difficult to access the cables in the upper part of the electric blanket, so a hole will need to be made above them so that they may be removed more easily.
Step 4. Remove all electrical components
Go on smoothing out the blanket and checking for cables you can cut away with improvised holes. Once you’ve checked that there are no wires left in the blanket, you may stitch up the holes and use your electric blanket like you would any other. If you have to remove the filler at an earlier phase, you should restuff it with batting before stitching the holes shut.
