I heard about dryel and went to the website. I have been meaning to dry clean my comforter for awhile now, but it's such a pain.
Does anyone know if the dryel bag used in the kit is big enough to fit a queen size comforter? I don't want to buy the kit and then find out the bag is too small.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I had a grandmother who tossed hers in the washer & all of the feathers ended up ruined.
I spent over $300 on the comforter, so I don't want to ruin it.
The tag does say dry clean only, but I am trying to find a way around that since it is a pain and so many items are ruined at the dry cleaners.

don't dry clean it, wash it. if your washer is not big enough go to a laundramat and take a front loader washing machine. Put it in with less soap than normal about 1/2 cup and cool water. when done put in dryer or hang to dry. dry on lower heat for an hour. it works. i have never had a comforter cleaned in my 45 years of marriage. only washing them. the dryer makes them fluffier when you take them out. just make sure there are no tears in the comforter because you will end with feathers all over the machine. if there are any tears or holes, get them professionally repaired before washing.

No.... those Dryel bags are way too small for comforters!
Dryel itself is really only good for that little spot pen it comes with i have found. The sell dry cleaning bags separate though in the stores now and you might be able to find a large size one big enough for your comforter but i am not sure about that because i just recently seen them.
I myself DO wash dry clean only comforters in the wash BUT i will say that recently i purchased a comforter that cost me upwards of $300 dollars and NOPE you won't see my toss that one in the washing machine. If i was able to spend that much money to purchase something that nice you can bet i will be making sure i spend the money to get the thing washed professionally!

I wouldn't dry clean a down comforter (or any bedding) because of the solvents. Why would you want to breath in and otherwise absorb that residue for 8 continuous hours? Also, you're right, the bag would be too small for Dryel.
I have always washed my down comforters. Thing is they need to air dry. If they are put in a dryer, it would have to be without heat. Therefore, the dryer on "fluff" only works for fluffing, and pretty much only after the comforter is dry.
I would wash my comforter in cold in an extra large washer, on delicate if possible, using Woolite. Then I would dry it outside in the sunshine, or inside on a very dry day, hanging with fans on it. Then fluff in the dryer. I do our down coats this way, too.
I would get some other opinions, though. If you're not pleased with the results I wouldn't want you to be angry with me!

I would not reccomend it. First check the label and see if it has Dry clean only. For the price of the Dryel you will end up at the dry cleaners anyway. Call and ask for a price before going to the dry cleaners. You may be surprised it isn't that expensive. Dryel I find is ok if you are spot cleaning but not for large items.

I have washed mine, also downfilled coats in the gentle(cold water) cycle, mine came out fine. I then let it mostly air dry, then to fluff it I put it in the dryer without heat, or low heat with a fabric softner sheet, and added a clean tennis ball to fluff it up. Came out like new and smelled great. Mine was an expensive one too.

Put it in the washer,when it done washing put in dryer then put some tennis balls or shoes or something to beat the water out. i do it all the time, dryell will set the stain. i worked in a drycleaners for 4 years and that was ll they did ..wash them down shrinks down to nothing so a home washer is fine...

Most down filled comforters can be washed. Take it to the laundro mat and put it in the big washer and drier.
