I found out most items get washed in water rather than in chemicals.. that's right, they don't get treated any differently than you would at home. The things that got chemically cleaned were mostly suits and jackets. Even wedding dresses were thrown into a washer exactly like the one you have at home.banclothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346705403696187772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509874543934071072.post-72083990497929356112011-04-07T19:57:59.111-06:002011-04-07T19:57:59.111-06:00We handwash at home for most things.

There are a couple items I'll have to keep getting cleaned (winter coats, etc...), but I'm going to try to stop going there as much as possible.<br /><br />Anybody have any ideas for what to do with wire hangers? I have a pile of them at home, but I use wooden ones for my clothes.Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637374526994566873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509874543934071072.post-27845601952091235372011-04-06T08:43:57.274-06:002011-04-06T08:43:57.274-06:00I never dryclean either.

I think the only things I put in the dryer are those big bulky sweaters that take forever to dry and socks. I've gotten in the habit too of checking labels before I buy anything. The only dry-clean only clothes I'll buy are dresses and coats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509874543934071072.post-77676504507002954932011-04-05T18:55:00.016-06:002011-04-05T18:55:00.016-06:00I've never ever gone to the dry cleaners.

Until I started blogging I had no idea that in some places clotheslines are not allowed. <br /><br />I don't wash clothes after every wear either. They don't need washing if they are not dirty and it just makes them wear out quicker uses more water & electricity and makes more work.Louisehttp://eliminate-my-debt.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
