When I took the Coverlet out of the very compressed roll it came in I was struck by a very strong chemical smell. I tried to air it out by spreading it out on my bed but after a while the smell was quite overwhelming. I then tried to wash it according to the instructions to remove the smell. This was only partially successful. 
Upon removing it from the dryer we discovered that both the coverlet and dryer were covered by a very fine white powder that could not be easily brushed or shaken off. I had to wipe down the interior of the dryer several times to clean it. 
At this point I gave up and returned the coverlet.
