Where did you get yours? It's about time we need a few. Last good ones we had were bought about 8-10 years ago, costed $200-$300. Since 2000, many friends complaint about their cheap ones; and we gathered, cheapest decent ones are about $120.
You don't have to dry clean it. What grandmother did,
1. Put it in a large plastic bag, freeze it for 24 hrs to kill critters.
2. In a bright sunshine day, slight spray 50/50 (alchol/water) soultion, let dry, spry..., it usually took about two hours.
3. If you have a steamer, steam it with 50/50 soultion. (Not Chinese food steamer, a steam-cleaner. )
4. Beat the hell out of them (fluff them up).
5. If you are lazy, go to laundray mate, use largest dryer, set it on low heat, put one pairs of sneaker in (to beat them), 40 mins should do.
