If they are dry clean only don't wash them because they might shrink

I washed my dunelm ones that said I could on a delicate wash so followed instructions and the shrank about 4 inches so I would advise not washing even if they state you can

No not really but as soon as I put any water or cleaning products on them ( for spot cleaning) they went quite stiff where the water or products touched them

Delicate wash but in time the lining will drop. You could hand wash depending how big they are. I do a delicate wash as you can't see the lining. Depends how fussy you are. It doesn't happen straight away. Wash rarely

Hi all, I had a full jar of malt extract (sticky molasses like liquid) spilled on a deep pile carpet and although I’ve tried cleaning it up with warm soapy water and scraping it off with a plastic card, it feels sticky still and I can feel that there is some under the carpet as it feels squishy.
