If your childs blazer is dry clean only how often do you clean it?

[sealsandbeachballs]

And roughly how much does it cost.

Tia!

I would return it as not fit for purpose...

I used to clean my DC's Blazers at the end of each term so they were ready for the next one, so 3 times a year. It cost £6 per blazer in the local independent dry cleaner and £12 per blazer at Johnsons (only made that mistake once!)

Not that choice pitchfork it is school issued one.

Thanks Chris

I have always washed my DC's dry clean only Blazers in the gentle cycle - no problems resulted.

I always wash dc blazers too, absolutely refuse to dry clean them. It works out fine. They don't appear to need ironing either

Agree - blazers are fine in the washing machine. Sweat builds up on them quickly to be honest.

Yep, ds's is 100% wool and it goes in the washing machine on a delicates cycle.

Washing machine here, at the end of every half term.

I stick it in the washing machine

Every term, £5.50 here.

I don't think I ever cleaned DD's blazer

Not every term. But definitely some terms...

Gentle wash in the washing machine when necessary Mistakenly put it through with other washing once and ended up with a very limp blazer. A can of starch from the pound shop soon sorted that though.
