We recently stripped off all fabric and curtains from our '79 Westy, ran
them thru the wash then dried them in the dryer on delicate.  I laughed out
loud when I read the description of the wrestling match with the large foam.
I chased it all over the house for an hour, finally got it all back on.
Smells nice an downy fresh!
