Dry Clean Only?
This label used to be reserved for wool suits and winter clothes. We’re now seeing it on clothes that can be safely and cheaply washed at home, like some white cotton shirts and even baby clothes!
The reason: When a dress doesn’t hold up after washing, you take it back to the store and the store takes it back to the manufacturer. To minimize those returns, many manufacturers put “dry-clean only” labels on virtually everything they make!
The misconception: Dry cleaning is always easier on a garment. That’s not true — even dry cleaners agree the process isn’t right for everything!
