This is actually unicornwhisperer, I dont feel like logging in as myself [Big Grin]

Anywho, we just got a queen bed comforter and it has to be dry cleaned. Is there another way to get it cleaned besides paying $20 at the dry cleaners? It's %100 cottona dn %100 polyester.. I know Dryel is only made for clothes...

*sigh*

Not that I know of. Probably better to invest the $20, than to ruin the comforter, which surely costs more than that.

Once it is nice and clean, you can buy a duvet cover, which can be removed and laundered as needed. I have a huge king-sized down comforter on my bed (well, not right now, but it's there in the winter), and I never wash IT -- just the duvet cover.

I second using the DC, at least for something like that. If not, try using Dryel, it works well, and you use it in the dryer. If that doesn't work (and follow the directions carefully) then have it cleaned.

I know Dryel works for clothes, but I have never used it for anything fluffy. [Big Grin]

Are there.... see through duvets? Because wouldn't that just miss the point?

Also would Dryel work for a comforter? I don't even think it fits in the bag... a garbage bag maybe.

Heres' what I did with mine, unicornwhisperer.

I spot cleaned it where necessary, and put it in the dryer with the Dryel sheet and just didn't use the bag.

It came out smelling fresh, and looking great.

Now, I'm not recommending you follow my advice, just letting you know my experience. I would hate for you to follow my recommendation and then ruin your comforter. Just letting you know it's an option you might try.

Thank you very much Belle!

We recieved this comforter from Ebay it was either a return or a display. All I know is that the bag was really ripped. But it looks good and new.

Worst case position is that you have to take it to a cleaner....which is where you are now.

If it does ruin it, then you find a new, cute duvet cover.... [Big Grin]


My very first suggestion was take it to the DC, remember? [Wink]
