A baby spit up on my blazer which is 53% rayon and 47% polyester. Instructions say "Dry Clean Only," but I don't want to have it dry cleaned. How can I get the spot out?
How do you wash a down jacket that says "dry clean only" at home?
I purchased a rayon/linen tunic, long sleeve shirt that states you have to dry clean it. Can Woolite be used to hand wash this?
I never dry clean clothes. If it is wool, I just use Woolite and wash by hand.
I haven't had any clothes drycleaned for years (oh, I can hear some gasping, she must be dirty).
