hmm do you have a steamer or access to one? DH and I bought one at BBB when we were registering bc we had no room for an ironing board and i'm lazy so this was just easier. it wasn't that expensive and it's come in really handy. i think the brand was rowenta or something like that.

I iron every single morning bc I’m a crazy person, so I consider myself an ironing expert.

I def think you’d be able to iron it, just put it on a low setting. And maybe check the tag just to make sure it doesn’t say Do Not Iron bc I don’t want to be blamed for ruining your comforter.

Wow! You're lucky it fit in the washer. DH tried that shortly before the wedding and almost burned the house down. The comforter was too big (like I told him) and it jammed the agitator. Thankfully, I heard the smoke detector going off and was able to stop the machine before it actually went up in flames, but the entire basement was full of smoke!

This scares me; you should see the amount of cr@p we try to wash at a time. Like king size sheet sets with 8 towels LOL

One tip..

If you dont have a steamer.. Place a towel on top of the comforter and iron over it! It will work!! (grandmas tip!!)

Most likely if you leave it in the dryer for a while and take it out while its warm it wont wrinkle as much..

Lets us know the results!

i'd iron with a towel over it.... it def does work... ive ironed 'shiny' material before and the iron has def made marks on them so i personally wouldnt test it

and dont buy another comforter... get a duvet... so much easier to wash!!!!
