Does anybody know of an alternative to dry cleaning? Perhaps one that is cheaper?

Answer 1

I've seen a product on tv that does the dry cleaning in your own dryer at home. I think it's called dryell or something like that

Answer 2

I have dryel and use it fo every dry clean only item I own. Works very well and the clothes have a great smell. It comes with a big bag you put in the dryer, with some type of cloth thing that goes in there that makes them smell good. It also comes with the dry cleaning solvent which has gotten pen out of a white dry clean only shirt of mine. I use the cleaning solvent for a lot of things around the house.
Much cheaper and less time consuming. You throw 3 pieces of clothing in the bag at a time, and dry it on medium heat for 30 minutes.

Answer 3

It would depend on a how much do you sweat and if you live in colder region or worm places,
If you live in warmer areas buy cotton and then you do not need to dry clean it wash it and wear it the same way if you are young , iron it if you are not so young and forget ironing and other tips if you are successful and old.
But if you live in the colder areas you can wear the attire a few times by putting them in a dryer with the dry sheets, to make it feel even better spray water with a bit of fabric freshner mixed in it on the areas that are smelling little bad and then repeat the same process of putting them in a dryer.
You can work for a hotel chain they pay for your laundry which is usually in house!!
Good luck

Answer 4

Most clothing can safely be hand washed in cool to lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Then just hang or lay flat to dry.
Be careful with wool or other fabrics that tend to "pill", you may not want to get them wet. But you could test a small area inside the item to see how it reacts to water. With wool, definitely don't use hot water or a dryer because it will shrink.
Dry cleaning may make clothing last longer, but how long do you really keep your clothes anyway?

Answer 5

I'd have to say don't buy clothes that need to be dry cleaned. I am a 31yr old wife & mom of 3. I am a stay at home mom & I don't have need for clothes that must be dry cleaned.

There are kits you can buy to use a home like Dryel. Here is a page about Home Dry cleaning Kits.

Answer 6

Yes, Dryell is the product and can be used in your dryer. You should have your clothes professionally dry cleaned every few wears though to keep the life of the clothing.
