  • Morning ladies,

    Can I have your opinion on this please,

    I have these cushions that say dry clean only, do you think they will be ok to do on a hand wash or wool wash.

    Ok I was going to post a picture but I dont know how, anyone help?

    thanks TF x

    I'd put them on a wool wash.. it is usually the spin cycle that kills cushions so avoid that.. I'd drip dry them on the line and finish off on the radiator/airer .. I'd also rotate every half hour which corners they were pegged on the line by too.. 90' turn... but then I'm odd like that.

    twoflower I'd do the same as piggers including the turning, wouldn't want them all bent out of shape, straighten them out on a flat surface first too before drying.
