Winter Clothes Cleaning Tips | Raleigh Laundromat
This time of year we pull out our wool, velvet, and tweed skirts and pants. These fabrics require special care. You will not want to just throw them in with all your other laundry. It is recommended by most manufacturers that these items be dry cleaned regularly but as we all know this can get pretty pricey! The key is to take really good care to not get these items really dirty or at the least prevent stains as much as possible. There are a few dry cleaning methods on the market today that may help you do a cleaning yourself in between professional dry cleaning. If you are lucky enough to have one of the newer steam cleaning washers or dryers this may also help. Just use a lot of care no matter which method you use.
One of the best warm weather items we have this time of year is our sweaters. We all have our favorites. You will certainly want to launder these items with care so that they last a really long time. It is recommended these be washed after two to five wears. If you have some made of silk, cashmere or cotton you will want to launder these after two to three wears.
- Launder with cold water and a really mild detergent. If you are worried about the fabric then by all means a hand washing is a great way to ensure the best care of the fabric.
- Always air dry thoroughly.
- Store your sweaters by folding gently and laying flat. Hanging can cause stretching of the fibers and affect the appearance of the sweater.
