    My Comforter Stinks of Sex

    .....and I ripped off the tag, because its not to be removed under penalty of law. Its a fancy goose-down comforter. How do I wash it? Can I just stick it in my normal washer and dryer? Or do I have to take it to the cleaners? It really reeks of stale sex juices (at least to me). I'd be so embarassed to have to take it somewhere.

    Advice?

    Getting it wet will ruin it! You'll have to take it to the dry cleaner. Just take it to a different one than the one you normally use if you're embarrassed.

    Oh, and get a duvet cover so you can just throw that in the wash next time!

    You can get it wet. Feathers get wet on birds/ducks! Front load washer only, a big one. You can use a down soap if you want (REI). Dry with a few tennis balls. Tada!

    Tennis balls? What do they do?

    I think he has a front-load washer. I don't. Oh,and I have duvet covers, we just havn't put them on because he likes it without cover.

    The tennis balls will beat it up so it gets fluffy again. I dry my regular comforters with them. It's awesome.

    I just take mine to the laundromat and use the super size washer and dryer. I've washed it at least 3 times and it's never bothered it. You definitely want the super size dryer though...they take forever to dry and the smaller dryers don't have enough space to get air all around it. I think the tennis balls may help to keep the feathers from gathering in the sides and corners? I usually just shake mine into place after I dry it.

    Dry cleaning is suggested and well extend the life of an expensive down comforter, but I know of something that works in the interim that can stretch out the cycles between dry cleanings as well as freshen an embarrassingly stinky comforter enough to make taking it to the cleaners something you won't regret.

    There are products on the market, the best of which I found is this one:

    http://www.dryel.com/

    You can use your own front loading dryer or in the case of a big down comforter [if your dryer isn't big enough] a commercial laundromat dryer, to get your comforter clean and fresh smelling.

    I use it all the time for removing sex from my better bed linens.

    P.S., for a big down comforter don't use the bag. It won't fit in it. Just use the sheets in the dryer [use two] like you would fabric softner sheets.

    I would take it to a laundry mat where they have the really big fronth loaders unless it is really small. The tennis balls fluf the down. Or else the get stuck together and do not evenly space in the baffles.

    I don't understand you, Kat. Why are you dragging a down comforter into this? You're better off up against the wall.

    We do it against the wall too. Between the juices expelled by my chronic masterbation, his enjoyment of shooting spunk all over the place, plus our sweaty bodies sleeping and screwing, this brand new comforter (V-Day gift from him) already has some nasty musky smells in many of its patches.

    Hahaha!! Awesome!!

    Maybe just febreeze it before you go in? Or let me take it in for you I have no shame! Better yet, ask the boy to drop it off!!

    You gotta figure dry cleaners see it all anyway...and besides with how much it reeks like chemicals in those shops I doubt theyll be able to smell it.

    I am an expert in washing down comfortors. You need Ivory flakes, which are hard to find but are usually at little mom and pop grocery stores. It is a pure soap without being a detergent or something like that, and it washes the dirt from the feathers without stripping the oil from the feathers, which is apparently the issue with washing them. Dry with a tennis ball. It'll take an hour in the industrial drier at the laundromat or like four hours in a regular drier.

    I washed my down comforter at home and it worked but I reccomend the laundrymat washer/dryer because it barely fit in the washer and dryer so it didn't get as clean and took a few cycles to dry.

    I have the local laundromat do my laundry by the pound and they have some kind of flat fee (10 bucks or somthing) for comforter washing. I'm not sure if they dry clean it or not but whatever they do works. Maybe your local laundromat has something similar. I agree with the folks who advised against washing it yourself and getting it wet.

    You could always just get rubber sheets.

    Give the Dryel a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    I also think that one of my cats rubbed their butt onto the comforter, because there are a few really gross areas. In the end, I think it was actually the cats that have made this thing stink, or a combination. It definately needs a duvet cover, I don't care what he says, I have several. Really gross, I know, sorry.

    Use Dryel, it's a home dry cleaning system and it works really well.

    I just did a search for the Kids In The Hall sketch where Mark walks in and goes "OUI! It STINKS OF SEX IN HERE!" but I couldn't find it on youtube.

    I'd dryclean it, too. I only washed mine when it got cat pissed on and I didn't want to wait to get it to the cleaners.
