Hi

Can't believe that I have just done this.......:mad: feel asleep on the sofa last night and this morning I have found two Jaffa Cakes squashed onto my throw. The cleaning label says 100% acrylic and dry clean only!!!

Can anyone suggest a way to get them clean without paying a dry cleaning bill? Will hand washing be ok??

Thanks
Ax

    We put our throws in the washer anyway. Hasn't done them any harm You can always wash an area by hand to see what happens

    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.

    I would give it a shot with a little cool water and some stardrops, doing that got red felt tip out of a dry clean only Snow White costume for me :)

    Acrylic will wash fine - just needs treated as wool

    One of my throws says dry clean only, but goes in the washing machine fine, I couldnt afford to have it dry cleaned every week.
