Soak it in h2o softener. It'due south extremely gentle. Put cold water in a bucket large enough to agree the coverlet, drop a scattering or somewhat less of water softener into the bucket, stir until dissolved.

Drib the coverlet in and let soak-an hour is usually enough of time. hot water can set stains, as do many soaps, so be careful. White King is the brand I know, there may be others.

I'1000 not sure you tin can detect a laundry bag big enough for a full size bedspread.

It may be plush but hopefully it will look beautiful when finished and they tin can probably supply y'all with a condom storage bag.
