Happily, this year, there is no need to hand wash my scarves. Instead, I am able to use Dryel to refresh them in a mere 30 minutes. First, I chose six scarves that have seen a lot of wear this winter:
As you can see, they are all different weights, colors and fabrications:
I chose to refresh these scarves not only because I wear them a lot, but because I'm afraid I'd ruin them if I washed them on my own. For example, I'm worried about the red and orange scarves at the top bleeding. And the black and gray scarf on the bottom left is such a lightweight, delicate weave, I'd hate to stretch it out. The same is true for the gingham and the mustard scarves; they're not as delicate, but their weave gives them a bit of bounce that I worry about ruining. As for the leopard scarf, I don't even know what my man-hands would do to that poor thing!
But, with Dryel, I don't have to worry. I just toss them all in the same bag:
Add the Dryel sheet:
Zip up the bag and pop it into the dryer for 30 minutes on medium.
Now, I would have never washed all of these scarves together, by hand or otherwise, because, as I said above, I'd be afraid they'd bleed all over each other and get ruined. With Dryel though, I don't have to worry about that. After 30 minutes together, they all come out smelling fresh and clean with no tears, snags or discoloration. Even the leopard scarf came out beautifully:
Of course, I'm probably going to have to refresh my scarves again once winter finally ends out here, but that's okay because refills of the Dryel sheets only cost $8.99 and you can get them at your local Walmart, or pretty much anywhere. Just look for the new red box!
Thanks for reading, All!
