Ok, when it says for something to be Hand Washed only, how exactly does one go about doing this? Would it just be better to get it dry-cleaned or what?

:thinking:

 

dry clean that mofo

 

dryclean, or try the delicates cycle if your machine has one

 

wat is it?

 

ok, i will go check out the washer...it's a lamb's wool sweater.

 

dry clean it dude, dont risk it. wat is it...3 or 4 bux?

 

It means you must trudge down to the nearest body of water with a washboard, bucket of soapy water, and a pair of hands that are ready for scrubbin'.

 

hnoes: I'm pretty sure the nearest body of water is frozen over for the winter...guess I can't wear my sweater until the spring.

 

:a: Hand washing is not rocket science. There's no reason to spend 4 bucks on dry cleaning when you can do the job yourself in about 20 minutes. In fact, the dry cleaning process can screw up some dye colors in fabrics like wool.

Get yourself some diluted laundry soap (start off with a 1:3 ratio; add detergent if needed) and fill the sink with tepid water. Apply the diluted solution to the stains and lighty scrub by rubbing the fabric against itself.

Once the stains have released, drain the sink and refill with clean water. Rinse until the soapy residue is gone. Lightly squeeze off the excess water and let the sweater drip dry.

Easy as can be.

 

:eh: (what is that? lukewarm or something?)..
