I've used Dryel for years. I use it for jeans, sweaters, and for freshening my clothes after wearing once or twice. I do not use Dryel as a stain remover. But it will work to smooth wrinkles from my jeans and make my sweaters and unstained silk blouses look and feel fluffy and soft again.

I was very excited to try this product as I wear a lot of dry-clean only items. I especially wanted this for things such as sweaters and blouses that I tend to just hand wash instead of taking into the dry cleaners.

The package contains a dryel bag, a spot removing pen, and four scented sheets. To use, you put 1-4 items in a bag with the sheet and put it in the dryer for about 30 minutes on medium heat (on my dryer this is the permanent press setting). I was a little concerned since I have an old old old dryer, but since I am one for adventure I went ahead and tried it out on four smaller sweaters.

When the dryer cycled ended I pulled out the bag and hung up my garments. They felt soft to the touch and smelled very nice. I'd go as far to say that they felt clean. However, on closer inspection I saw that one sweater still had a small stain spot. Now, admittedly, I did not use the stain pen on that spot, but if you're expecting for stains to come out just from the sheets and the bag alone then you're in for a disappointment. However, the fabrics were definitely refreshed and, again, smell real nice.

I have not tried to put more than four items in a bag at a time, but I think that at least for smaller items, like sweaters or blouses, it would probably work. I also haven't tried this on an item like a coat, but I imagine that it would be best to only do 1 coat in a bag at a time. Though the box and instruction booklet says you can use this on items such as suits and ties, I'm a little wary of trying it--if only because if something goes wrong I'd be out a lot of dollars. However, I'm definitely going to keep using Dryel for my smaller items!

Very easy to use, and it does freshen clothes. It good get read of the bad smell some had taken staying in a suitcase over winter.
I wasn't and wouldn't expect the product to actually clean stains. There is a "pen" provided to do so, but I haven't tried it as basically I don't really believe in it. For stains, I would go to the professionnal dry cleaner,
Only 4 stars because unlike what is stated, one can't have too many clothes in the bag: worked very well with 2. When I tried 4 (the bag was far from being cramped), some of the clothes came out smelling a bit.
