"Thanks!" to Anon at 12:20 AM (in this post) who came up with a great post topic: "I thought I'd suggest a topic for a post -- washing/care. The majority of jcrew sweaters are dry clean only. I'm wondering whether others have tried hand washing instead & what their experience has been. I didn't have that great of results washing my tartine cardigan & now I'm worried about wrecking other sweaters (like the Lea)."Is it just me, or has the number of their tops, (including sweaters, camis,... even tees!) requiring "dry clean" increased over the years? It seems like every other top I purchased this past Fall/Winter had to be dry cleaned. Considering the amount, my trips to the dry cleaners were sure adding up. ;)
As a result, I have been turning to Dryel (click here). I have to admit, it works. I used it on a variety of items including the Silk Elizabeth Halters (Item 95001; was $89.50, now $59.99), the Victoria Ruffle Shirts (Item 99694, $89.50), and even the Candy Tees (Item 10605; was $49.50, now $9.99). So far, I have been pleased with the results. Of course, this method is no where near the same results that I would get at the dry cleaners- but it is "good enough" and is way better for my wallet. ;)
What are your methods for "dry clean" only J.Crew items? Have you tried alternative methods (e.g. hand washing, Dryel)? If so, please share with us your results. :)
