How to clean a comforter without a washer?

Does it really need washing? If it just has some marks, maybe careful spot cleaning will do. I did wash a big comforter in the bath and then couldn't lift it by myself. Wringing it out was incredibly hard and took two people twisting it and even then it was still soaking wet - much too wet to put in a dryer. It took about a week to dry and was not worth the trouble. If I were you I would wait for a very sunny day and hang it out over a couple of lines on the washing line and then look for any marks and clean them whilst it is hanging up. Leave it out on the line for a good airing in the sun and turn it over after a few hours to let both sides get some sun as well.

I certainly would not follow Amandas suggestion ! If it is absolutely necessary to get it washed "right Now" then I would say 'drive to another town' that has a laundromat.! It is too risky to try any of the other suggestions. The supermarkets do carry a dry cleaner sheet that you put in the dryer with your garment but the only thing that does is freshen up woolens. It really doesn't CLEAN ! I worked at a job that required dressing in nice things and it worked for perspiration and smoke odors .If you have a spare bedroom and just want to freshen things up for company etc. this can be the way to go!

If you really need to completely clean it, rather than just spot clean it, you can wash it outside. Pick a time when it will be warm and not rain for a day or two. You will also need a spray nozzle for your water hose. Hang the comforter over a fence. Use your water hose to completely wet it down. Then mix about 1/2 cup detergent with hot water in a spray bottle, and then spray the comforter completely. Depending on how dirty is is, you can use a scrub brush to scrub it. Next, use the water hose to rinse it thoroughly. Then just leave it on the fence for a day or so until it is about half dry...and put it into your dryer with 3 or 4 dryer sheets (it will need this many!) . The dryer will finish drying it, as well as soften and fluff it back up nicely.

Unless it's just hideously filthy, try freshening in the the dryer with 2 or 3 Bounce sheets until the laundromat re-opens. You really need a big industrial washer for that. Your only other viable option would be to try and hand wash and rinse in the bath tub. And believe me, that comforter will get mighty heavy when its completely wet!

I'd purchase some upholstery cleaner and use a cloth to clean it.

This may take you awhile but it will get clean. Look in the auto

section for the spray can with a nozzle on it if you don't want to use a cloth. It will cost you more money for it. This way you don't need a washer.

If you put in a couple of dryer sheets for softens in with the comforter and let it run for 20 minutes you will find it will smell better and you maybe able to get by for a bit.

take it outside and wash with detergent and a hose and then put it in the dryer.

maybe put a softer in the dryer and turn it on air
