Try washing it like a futon.
….
I’m sure the Japanese wash their futons…umm…..somehow….

OK, try a weak solution of baking soda and water

“Oxyclean. The ads are ridiculous, but the stuff really does work.”

Apparently Billy Mays doesn’t do the ads that he does unless the stuff actually works, so yeah.

lk’s response made me laugh though. :P

And I want to ask, but apparently I can’t.

Man, blood stains are rough. I got one on my first dakimakura but was able to knock it out with a wet paper towel.

Cum stains are pretty easy to get rid off… just that area remains horribly crusty until you wash it :(

@Kabitzin Only $30. Bought at AX; online retailers sell it for about the same. I may just buy a new one or try the Oxi-clean. Or heck, buy a new one for the sake of it. Having two Haruhis is always good.

How much was it? Dry cleaning can be expensive, just buy a new one =D.

I may actually use Oxiclean. If that doesn’t work, I’ll try a dry cleaner.

I laughed out loud. Also I hear you can hire ninjas to do our laundry.

seconding the oxi-clean. that shit’s like magic and really doesn’t wreck colors the way peroxide probably would.

in other news, I’m thinking of changing the name of my site based on the fact that I have no bloodstained dakimakura and thus probably don’t require much shame.

Because you can’t remove the cover, I’d really recommend going to a dry cleaner. I’ve used soaking followed by soap, water, and old-fashioned scrubbing, but it helps if you can remove the cover off. Hydrogen peroxide is very effective but it sometimes fades colors.

If there’s a seam, you might have to cut through it, remove the cover (if possible), clean it, and have your pillow restuffed.

>>Wash it with distilled nutbladder juice.

Seconded for great justice.
