How to get patches of dried glue out of a fleece blanket?
I received a free sherpa/fleece blanket for making a purchase, didn't expect the quality to be great as it was free but it turns out the blanket is actually decent quality and very soft. The only issue is that there are several patches of hard glue in the fleece. I tried bringing it back to the store but the blankets are no longer in stock. I want to try and save this blanket, but I'm worried if I wash it I'll ruin the blanket. Any recommendations for getting the glue out?

Washing it should not harm it, soak for a while first, if it is water based glue it should come out. Drying it has more risk than washing, just air dry hanging up is safest.
Depends on what kind of glue it is. Super glue isn’t going to come out. But white glue, like Elmer’s, should come out in the wash. Washing fleece will not hurt it
I have never heard of fleece that is ruined by washing. Try that first. If there are care instructions on the blanket, follow those. Otherwise, use cold water and don't tumble dry it unless you are sure the glue is gone because heat may make it set for good. If that doesn't work, there are solvents that can remove glue--google 'how to remove glue from fabric--or you can use some scissors and cut the glue off.
