NWR: to dry clean or not

Original post by GiannisWifey

Can you handwash a sweater that says 'DRY CLEAN ONLY'?

I might do a sweater change, and the sweater I wore to work today is the one I want to wear tomorrow!!! I was so tired this morning, I didn't even think of dropping this off at the dry cleaners and wearing something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dry clean it - after being in the clothing business I can tell u most things that say hand wash needs to be dry cleaned especitally if its any typle of silk blend. It will be ruined if you wash it even by hand...

i do it allll the time. Wash on the gentle cycle with cold water only and with woolite. Works EVERY time! I wash pretty much all 'dry clean only' things except for lined suits / jackets / dresses.

Good luck!
