If you have a piece of clothing that must be dry cleaned and it is made of polyester, rayon, or cotton then I have the solution for you!!!! Take an old pillow case and cut little slits into it or use a mesh laundry bag. Place your item in the bag (i.e. Blazer). Tie a knot at the top of the bag so the item doesn’t fall out. Place the bag into the washer on the most gentle cycle. Add a little bit of laundry detergent and make sure the water is cold.
Once the wash is complete take the item out of the bag. Lay a towel on the floor and place the item flat out on towel. Add another towel on top of the item and roll both towels up soaking up any water that is remaining. Now hang the item up to dry. DO NOT PLACE IN DRYER. This is such an inexpensive way to clean your delicate clothing. Please bring silk items to a dry cleaner.
