Has a "Dry Clean Only" garment

I lost two wool jumpers to the incompetence of 1. My mother and 2. My wife both of whom claimed to have vast experience at housework. I don't claim to be good at housework but at least I can read clothes labels and thus never lost a good piece of clothing to the wash.

When we first met you were the teacher and I just a learner, now I am the master of washing.

All of my work clothes. My dry cleaners has a drive-up window ( sliding doors) and they grab my laundry when I bring it and hang it in my truck when I pick it up. They know me by name. 😊

The only thing I'd dry clean is a high quality suit and such. If it's something like a Saville Row bespoke suit, you treat it with respect. The people who handmake it are artists.

Yes. I only ever regretted it once. I had a throw given to me/us for our wedding and it was dry clean only. I washed it then the tassels looked stupid after. I hate dry cleaning but I thought it was worth the chance.

I do all the laundry in this house and nothing gets dry cleaned. Cold water gentle cycle for stuff like that.

I think I would just hand wash it in the sink. Dry cleaners is next to impossible to get to.

I wash my dry clean only. They don't get special treatment

Once. I’ve since learned that “dry clean only” is actually French for “this one isn’t for you” 🤷‍♂

Yes, and I send it to the Cleaners always.

For sure. But a dry-clean only garment has also learned to toughen up and live like the rest of us- cold tap water washing and high heat drying.

I think all garments should be open to new experiences!

Yes a suit. So I rarely wear it.

They barely make it an hour, or through the appetizers....whatever comes first.
