can you wash dry clean only pants in a washing machine at home?

Answer 1

Absolutely as long as you have a front load tumble washing machine with warm or cold water. The reason, mostly for recommending dry clean only is that depending on the style and fiber content of the item, an agitator type washer will be too hard on article.

Answer 2

Ya no prob. When u wash ur pants do it on gentle cycle, and then DONT put it in the dryer, u have to hang dry it. If it has beeds or anything like that on it flip them inside out when u do wash them . It will be as good as new.

Answer 3

there is a reason the manufacturer specified dry clean only on the tag. The fabric may shrink, colors may run, a lot of things could go wrong. Take them to the dry cleaner.

Answer 4

I have done it with mixed results. Pants with rayon or viscose will shrink and can wrinkle like crazy. I have washed wool blend pants that have come out OK but they can lose their shape and don't look right.

Answer 5

No. However, you can dry-clean them at home. Go purchase some Dryel and follow the directions.

Answer 6

Would not recommend it, but I think there are kits you can buy that allow you to dry clean stuff at home.

Answer 7

Depends upon the cloth they are made of, silk, no, linen it depends on what kind. Silk will never be washable even if the tag says it is.

Answer 8

Answer 9
