How do I clean my polyester throw pillow?

Question

I bought these really cute throw pillows from target. Something like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JWS2FYE4L._SS260_.jpg

One has gotten an oil stain on it. I took it to the cleaners, and the lady refused to clean it because she said she didn't know how because the fabric cover is not a slip off cover.

HOW DO I CLEAN IT? I LOVE this pillow.

Answer 1

It is a very nice pillow -

If you have a regular size automatic washing machine add a few white or light colour towels along with the pillow and wash as usual on high water level - stick around the machine because the load may go off balance and you may have to open the lid and re arrange the clothes.  First you want to put a little lemon juice or vinegar onto the oil stain to help remove it.  Use mild soap  - No bleach and it should come out  clean.

To dry it use only medium heat in the dryer and a fabric softener sheet.

Good luck
