Can I wash my plastic trousers?

I've just ordered a pair of trousers from River Island, not realising they were dry clean only.

The material is 57% Polyester, 43% Polyurethane - do you reckon I can risk putting these on handwash opiton (with no spin) in the wash? They can't be ironed either.

I think for the sake of 'style and beauty' you should put them in the bin.

Can you link to them? I can't picture what the fabric is like.

Well that would be pointless, I'd get a refund. I like http://www.riverisland.com/women/sale/trousers--leggings/Black-perforated-leather-look-trousers-643592. I needed evening trousers as I've got some nice going out tops.

I don't know. It says do not wash so I would be a bit scared to in case something happened to them, but not sure what could happen to them iyswim!! I'd probably return them.

You could hose then down.
sorry OP, but they look positively pornographic, especially pic 4

Sorry, OP, but those look horrid. And I say that owning a pair a leather-look / fabric leggings.

But, yes, you can probably wash them on a delicate setting.

Maybe just damp sponge them to be n the safe side?
