Is there a safe way to wash ';Dry Clean Only'; items at home?

I take dry cleaning once a month. However, I have 2 skirts that I would like to freshen up. They are polyester/rayon/spandex blends. (That's kind of embarrassing. I assumed they were stretch wool blends until I looked at the labels to post on here.) Thanks for your help.Is there a safe way to wash ';Dry Clean Only'; items at home?
That kind of blend of fabric is man-made, and actually very durable. If you decide to wash it in water, make sure that you test an area with water (on a q-tip) to make sure that it's colorfast. If it is, it would probably be save to wash it in the gentle cycle with Woolite.





Dryel works well, too, but a bit expensive. If you don't have any stains on the skirts, and just want to freshen them up, put them in the dryer for a few minutes with a dryer sheet - on low heat.Is there a safe way to wash ';Dry Clean Only'; items at home?
Dryel supposedly works, or just hang them upright and steam them.
No problem, just put them in boiling water for an hour, they will come up as good as new
I love Dryel. It's great for freshening up between dry cleanings.
Try Dryell....
If the label says ';Dry Clean Only'; and you wash the item they might shrink or maybe not .


It all depends how much you paid and if they are worth taking the risk.





Usually Rayon does a lot of shrinking . I would take them to the cleaner !
Tepid or warm water and cool will do okay with Dry Clean Only garments Good Luck !
no need wasting money. just pop them in the washer on the most delicate agitation cycle with a special wool detergent.. nothing could go wrong
i have had good luck with dryel. when you first purchase it, expect to spend about $20. there is a special bag that you have to use. then after you get the bag, the sheets aren't that much. just put the garments in the dryel bag, put in a dryel sheet, place in the dryer. voila. fresh clothes.
