Dryel: How to Dry Clean at Home

In today's tough economy times, many are looking for ways to cut down on the cost of living. Some may start clipping coupons while others may start buying store brand items. One item I came across saved me time, gas and money when it came to dry cleaning my clothes. Recently at Wal*Mart I came across a dry cleaning home kit called Dryel.

Dryel comes in a tube container with 4 starter cleaning sheets, a stain remover and a Dryel zipped bag. The instructions are pretty easy for stain removal and cleaning. They give you absorbent pads to blot behind the fabric to remove any stains before cleaning. When you're ready to dry clean, simply put the fabrics into the zippered bag with one cleaning cloth. It's activated by the heat of your dryer. You can add up to 4 items per dry cleaning cycle to the zippered bag. The fabric bag lasts up to 50 loads while the nylon bag lasts up to 20 loads.

Both bags claim to prevent fading, shrinking or stretching due to the dryer's heat. After closing up the bag, use the medium heat setting on your dryer for 30 minutes. If your using the kit at a laundry mat, they suggest low to medium heat. Never use the high heat setting as it may cause damage to the dryer and or clothes. I tried the Dryel kit at the laundry mat on low for 30 minutes and was pleased with how the garments came out. It smelled fresh and was hung up to help avoid wrinkles. Take note some items may need ironing to smooth out wrinkles. In the mini guide it informs you what settings and for how long for the type of garment you have for ironing.

After your items are put away, throw away the cleaning cloth. Even if you do another dry cleaning of garments, you'll need a new one. If you plan on doing a lot of dry cleaning, you may want to purchase the refill pack of cleaning cloths that come in a package of six each. The starter kit and the refill pack cost just under $10.00 at Wal*Mart. Currently if you go online, you can send away by mail or receive by e-mail a $3.00 coupon off the Dryer product. If the offer is no longer available, check back often to see when coupons are being offered again.

I would recommend checking out Dryel for dry cleaning needs due to saving gas to drop off and pick up your clothes, time between driving for the garments and money. You can watch videos and read hints and tips at Dryel's official website: http://dryel.com/
