I have a 100% polyester garment...can you use this product on it? I am asking since I am not sure if I can tumble dry the garment ...or so it says

I tumbled dry a jacket (nylon/polyester with primaloft insulation) that was not supposed to be tumbled dry and it was ok. According to the revivex directions you can also "air dry" for 48 hours to get protection. Good luck.

I think it would be ok to use on natural fabrics for both indoor & outdoor clothing however I definitely wouldn't use it on delicates or dressy clothing like tropical wool dress pants or a suit. Hope that helps.

I don't know how the product is used as a laundry item. Here is a link that may help you http://www.starchsupplies.co.uk/starch-mixing-instructionsI purchased the starch for someone else and they use the product to make wallpaper paste.

I've been told you don't need fabric softener. I've done about 6 loads so far with the soap nuts (but that's only 1 time per garment so I don't have a long time reference) and I also use wool balls in the dryer instead of fabric softener & I did leave them in. Confused yet??? The short answer is I didn't use commercial fabric softener & mine came out fine!

NEVER put plastic of any kind in your dryer = it will melt and ruin your dryer drum and your clothes. I have used a fine washables or mesh laundry bag to dry my Dryel cleaning in the dryer and it works fine. The important thing is there needs to be enough room in the bag for the clothes to tumble so they get the benefit of the cleaning chemicals from the Dryel sheet. The Dryel Starter Kit should contain the bag, cleaning sheets, and pretreatment spray along with a backing pad for pre-treatment. I see that the newer version of Dryel 2x ultra will clean up to 24 items and I think it might not require the bag? (I've actually used Dryel in my dryer without a bag and haven't seen any problem but they don't recommend it.) I think the reason the bag is supplied/recommended is because when you put just a few things in the dryer they can get hung up on the flanges and end up a twisted wrinkled mess. Hence, enough space to tumble, not so much they bunch in a "corner." Or perhaps I don't have any idea what I'm talking about. ;D

Jenny. the tags say 100% cotton...so if there was a polyester in it they would have to mention it...

Wow, RS, thank you so much for starting this thread. I'm allergic to most polyester fill and fabric (asthma and contact dermatitis) and was thinking of buying it only because they stated it was 100% cotton shell and fill. All cotton is hard to find at this sale price so I was going to buy it as a back up to my current one that's really held up well in 1.5 decades of use.

Sounds like pilling. Anything with Spandex shouldn't be dried, should air dry. Wash in cold on a gentle or active cycle. I think the type of washer you have matters too. Some top loaders just beat up clothes. I have a front loader that is much more gentle on clothes. I wash my son's baseball clothing in the same load but I don't add rough garments like jeans,etc. Also zip up zippers, anything that can snag your shirts. I've never bought this particular UA shirt, but haven't had any issues with the others. I was going to buy this shirt for him today. After reading this, I hope it holds up! As far as getting rid of the pilling, I doubt you can. Sounds like pilling. Anything with Spandex shouldn't be dried, should air dry. Wash in cold on a gentle or active cycle.

I just got it, and it says "hand wash only" on the tag. I might still try putting it on delicate in my machine then air drying.

It is 100% polyester. The mfr recommends air drying. I used every other day for 6 weeks and it is starting to smell slightly so I put in washer on gentle cycle and then air dried. I think part of the reason it started to smell is I got lazy and after a few weeks just rinsed and hung to dry without squeezing and shaking out excess like mfr recommends

Not sure about wedding dresses, however I use it on poly/wool and pure polyester and it works pretty good. Mostly used it on polos and police/security uniforms.

They say hand wash only, and I'm guessing that's best. They're 100% polyester and have pretty cheap (though cute!) details on them that probably wouldn't survive in the washing machine. Definitely no dryer -- they'd melt!

I think the best thing to do is to contact the manufacturer with this question. You cannot be too safe especially with baby clothes.If this was my situation, I don't think I would use it on baby clothes. Just my opinion.

I tried in a polyester suede jacket and it worked fine for the first time, but second time the collar and scuff were lightly soiled and although I followed all the instructions it couldn't remove all the dirt, since polyester and soil have affinity it needs a stronger agent like water or perc. I recommend hand wash and hang to dry or dry cleaning with hydrocarbon, a modern solvent more delicate and eco friendly. FYI I am a laundry owner.

It should not if you follow the label on the clothing as well as the bottle of woolite. We use it for most non-dryclean articles. Always use the delicate cycle. Everything should be fine.

Absolutely you can, this product works wonderfully on every fabric I have tried it on.

If it is leather, you might try it in an inconspicuous place (on the underside of the vest). This particular product dried incredibly shiny and was not flexible... it cracked on my leather furniture. I would not recommend trying it on a piece of clothing that you really like; instead, I would ignore the pin holes.
