What items should be dry-cleaned




1. Things with decorations

Since glitter and beads are most often sewn by hand, they hold poorly. Machine washing can be a disaster for a thing. You can wash it by hand, but when you need to clean your embroidered jacket or dress thoroughly, it is better to dry clean them.

2. Dark silk items

Dark silk can stain other things when washed. To test this, moisten a small area of the product and pat it dry with a white paper towel. If there are traces on it, dry clean the item.

3. Suits

It is very difficult to make the jacket and pants retain their original appearance after washing. Cleaning them has already become a classic. Don’t break traditions.

4. Pleated items

If the skirt or blouse has pleats, you need to give it to professionals for washing. They will not only preserve the pleating, but also thoroughly clean the item from any stains.

5. Painted items on fabric

Modern paints designed to decorate your T-shirts and shirts are resistant to soft washing, but if you value the drawing, it’s better to dry clean the item.

6. Viscose and chiffon items

Clothes made of thin synthetic materials, even when washed gently, can be severely deformed: shrink, warp. So feel free to put it in the hands of the pros.

7. Padded clothes

Raincoats, skirts, coats — everything that is lined should be washed in a special way. It is easier and cheaper to give these items to people who know how to handle them.

8. Leather and suede

While some argue that you can clean items made from these materials at home, for the sake of the safety of your favorite leather jacket, don’t spare the money on dry cleaning.

9. Fur

If you wash a fur product in a machine, it is likely to be damaged. If you value your fur, time and nerves, feel free to dry clean your mink coat.
