I was just wondering if I could wash my dress shirts, dress pants, and dress socks and such in my own washer.
Should I take it to the drycleaners?
or can I soak them water or something?

You bet ! All you have to do is put them in a cold water wash (first read directions ) or if they are delicate and require special care then all you have to do is hand wash them in Woolite and cold water. Forget the dry cleaners----it's not necessary and its actually safer to do it yourself. Dry cleaning uses chemicals that are known to be cancer causing.
Bye the way, if you don't have Woolite just use a dish detergent that is mild and swish the clothes around by hand and let soak for 15 minutes and when they look clean you just rinse, squeeze and let dry. It' s very easy to do, Good Luck!

That is what I do.. I get home spray them with FEBREZE and next time I am ready to use them they are good as new.. Unless it has strong smoke order or stains I would refrain from washing and if you do have to wash.. either dry-clean or wash in delicate cycle and hang dry. For some items you might even have to wash them by hand... Hope this helps !

Wash your cottons and 50% poly white dress shirts.
Suits and slacks need special care. Take them to the cleaners.
Dry cleaning is a special fluid used to clean linens and other frigle
materials.
Hint on the dress shirts to reduce wrinkles. Pull from the dryer and hang up. When ready to iron use a good quality spray starch.

check the cleaning tag to see if you can. Don't wash wool. Your shirts should be ok even if they are silk, but I would get woolite delicate clothes detergent to wash them and use the delicate cycle on your washer. To be on the safe side, if you have smaller items, hand wash them. Like the dress shirts and socks. And take the pants to the cleaners.

read the labels, if they say dry clean only then do so-but some clothes can be washed in the delicate setting, cold water only and use a little dish soap like Dawn just don't mix brights with dark colors.

Check the labels on each item to see if it can be washed. Shirts and socks certainly can be washed following the directions on the label. Pants probably should be dry cleaned unless the inside label gives washing instructions.

You could wash your shirts, but your pants and other clothes need to be dry cleaned only. If you put them in your washer they will be ruined.

I wash all of mine in the washer. I sometimes do my dress pants on the gentle or delicate cycle.
