Dry clean only jumper - help

4 replies

dooders · 12/11/2021 11:52

I unknowingly bought a dry clean only jumper from & Other Stories and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to wash this at home without ruining it?

32% alpaca wool
32% wool
30% polyamide
6% elastane

Can I even do a dry clean for one item?

Hand wash it cold with hand wash liquid, or in the machine on the handwash cycle, just make sure the temp is low and the spin cycle also should be low. Lay flat on a towel to dry.

I used to work for a clothes wholesaler. They used to put dry clean only labels on things because it saved on the cost of all the testing to determine recommended washing/ironing conditions.

Unless it's suede or leather I wash dry clean only stuff in cold water with either wool/silk washing liquid or soap flakes.
