Anyone used these to get lumps out of a down comforter? I tried using tennis balls, they helped. The spines make me think these will work better?

I haven't tried but I wouldn't guess they would. They are not hard so I don't think it would put enough pressure but again, I haven't tried it personally. Good luck!

I'm honestly not sure. If the comforter has a "bead" on the edge you may be able to grip that. Otherwise the sheet stays seem to work better than others because they can grip the thinness of s sheet.

It might work but I don't encourage it. I had a queen filler in a queen cover and I had it turned sideways. No matter how hard I shook it there was always a crease in it. I finally got it turned and now it's nice on my bed. I don't thnk it would result in it being fluffy.

It's best to wash pillows in a front loading machine. Even if you have to make a run to the laundromat to get it done it is worth the trip. It will extend the life of your pillows and give you much better results. Just choose the temperature that is right for the cleaning you desire and wash away. I pop these into the dryer with 2 tennis balls I use just for laundry. The balls help fluff up, plump up, and soften the pillows while they are right in the dryer. They always come out great. If you find these pillow getting flat after extended use as all pillows will do just run them through the washer and dryer and they plump right back up. Good as new!

Hi, for me the purpose of using these balls was to eliminate any kind of fabric softener, including the dryer sheets which have chemicals in them, so I do not use mine with a dryer sheet. I put a drop of all natural aromatherapy oil on a couple of the balls and let it soak in for a day or so before using them which adds a lovely scent to my laundry. I'm sure using a dryer sheet would not inhibit the performance of these balls.

I bought a mattress cover (just a cheap one) at walmart just to save it from getting dirty. It worked well. Mine was a little padded and I think it help firm up the topper. I love it actually.

Comforters are tricky. According to most care tags, they have to be dry cleaned, but I have years of experience machine washing them on a delicate cycle and drying them on a delicate cycle too. To avoid washing a down comforter frequently, buy a duvet cover that protects it. Expecting to wash a down comforter regularly will likely shorten its long life-span. I also use tennis balls as mentioned by the other reviewers.

Yes, we purchased our Ohana furniture last year and left it outside all winter, so I washed all of our covers last month and was VERY pleased with the results. I even dried them on our dryer's no heat setting (they don't absorb much water so it didn't take long) and had no problems getting the covers back on the cushions. We had a few stains on the cushion before I washed them (the neighborhood cats love the furniture) which I had tried to scrub out by hand last year without luck. Amazingly, the machine took care of the stains!

Order a couple of pillow protectors or pillow cases from them and wash these; They are inexpensive and then you never need to wash the pillow.I have done this with my duvet down comforter covers from Austria for many years and never have had to have the comforters cleaned.

We had the down comforter dry cleaned because the last time I washed a down comforter it was ruined. Dry cleaning is worth the $$ as it lasts longer.

Do not buy these for that purpose. I had the same problem with my bed last year and bought some wonderful casters from Amazon that immediately corrected the problem.I will find the name of the product in the morning and get back to you so that annoying problem with the bed can be resolved. Until then ....

I've only used them to hold a chair protector on a recliner chair but they have worked very well for me. I am no longer constantly having to readjust it every time I sit or get up. I imagine you could also use them to keep wayward sheets pinned at the bottoms and sides of a mattress depending on the kind of mattress you have. They are like tiny screws that go into the material and backing of the furniture to keep various types of covers in place. Hope this helps.

I prefer scotch tape for comforters, because the pet hair magnet works best if you use it on something that is solid underneath. I use the magnet on my office chair and on the couch together with my Shark hand vacuum. My cat sheds like crazy too, even though he is a shorthair.

I think it would work to strain lumps unless they are really small lumps.i hope that helps.

You could probably try that...I stuck them through the elastic part of the bedskirt and screwed them into the upper side of the box spring. What I didn't like was that some of the screw heads broke off while trying to screw them in. Did like the product.

If you have the white ones like us. I found stripping the cushion covers off and putting in normal laundry quite effective. In fact, I imagine it would work on all of them. I wash them twice a year. Just make sure you keep track which cover goes with what shape pillow or it can be challenging.

Not really good for chairs that move around as they come unstuck, but for chairs you might try socks. I actually use both on chairs, put these on, then the socks.
