Return to article: How to Wash a Dry-Clean-Only Garment
on 10/3/2007 You need to be careful with this. Some fabrics on the market will literally change structure with adding too much water, which is why dry cleaners don't USE water. I own an alternative dry cleaning and laundry business, and I've been working with textiles for fourteen years, and a lot of the synthetics are made to not be immersible in water. Please, do the research on the material in question, use a dry cleaning kit, or take it to professionals.
on 2/15/2007 Pff I had to sign up to leave this comment, yarrr!!! Anyways, I have washed my dry clean shirts before (I own a lot of dry clean only clothing). One shirt in particular has shrunk but since the first time I washed it I haven't noticed it shrink any further. My problem is that I've purchased a comforter that's polyester/acrylic and it's dry clean only!!!! Do I take it to a professional? Chance throwing it into the washing machine? Or use an entire dryel kit? Suggestions mail me at Blame_courtney@Hotmail.com CHEERS!
