Ask:
I need help! I have a comfortor that does not fit into my washer, but it will fit into the dryer!
Does anyone have any tips on how to freshen up a large comforter in the dry???
Is there anything else you would recommend besides just using dryer sheets?
Answer:
I would try spraying it with Febreeze without the dryer
Answer:
I wait for the first warm spring day, then I take it out, hang it on a drying rack (by-law doesn't allow us to have clothes lines ), beat the dust out of it and let the fresh air at it for most of the day. I find that really freshens things up.

Answer:
I spray febreeze on it and put it in the dryer with sheets. That helps somewhat...

How strange, we have state laws that prohit any law , rules or homeowners association from prohiting anything that is energy conservation. They can make rules about where you can put up a clothes line but they are not allowed to tell you that you cant have one.
Answer:
If you have a steam cleaner - I run the steam cleaner nozzle over it and then spray with Febreze.
Answer:
I always take stuff like this to the local laundry mat once a year. They usually have larger washers than home style models.
Answer:
I occasionally run mine through the dryer with a wet towel I've soaked in a fabric softener solution. It makes it smell nice and gets rid of dog and cat hair that tend to accumulate. HTH!
Answer:
Have you thought about giving it a good handwash in the bath? then hang it up on the washing line outside. It takes a bit of elbow grease but the work out is well worth it.
We have four of them at home, and alas one is also too big for our washing machine. I normally rinse it with the shower attachment and take it outside all nice and wet.
