Also the metallic content is kind of throwing me. Would it rust? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-get-away-with-machine-washing#post-214236 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 03:15:36 +0000 Sveta 214236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have laundered quite a few garments with lining with no problem. I find the main problem is ironing. I would also wash by hand in cold water and mild detergent - I usually use shampoo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-get-away-with-machine-washing#post-214180 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 02:11:00 +0000 Queen Mum 214180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wash on cold water and hang to dry. I can't imagine that would be a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-get-away-with-machine-washing#post-214123 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 00:26:44 +0000 Anonymous 214123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't wash the skirt either, especially machine wash it. Do you have Target or Walmart? If so, look for a Dryell kit in the laundry detergent aisle. They freshen things and have a special spot remover for treating spots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-get-away-with-machine-washing#post-214120 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 00:22:45 +0000 Megan 214120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ohhh I've never heard of those dry-el things....I wonder if we have them here in Australia? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-get-away-with-machine-washing#post-214116 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 00:16:34 +0000 bj1111 214116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how dirty is the skirt. you could get those dry-el sheets/packs that you toss in the dryer with dry cleanables. especially if you have a stack to go to the cleaners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-get-away-with-machine-washing#post-214108 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:59:36 +0000 Marley 214108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh - I really have no clue in answer to your questions - but, I know I wouldn't machine wash something that is lined and says 'Dry Clean Only!' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-get-away-with-machine-washing#post-214098 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:45:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 214098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not attempt cleaning a lined garment at home because you run the risk of the outer fabric and lining fabric shrinking differently and not matching up afterwards. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-get-away-with-machine-washing#post-214091 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:37:21 +0000 Megan 214091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, </p> <p>Hoping for some wisdom. I have a new skirt- it is 50% polyester, 38% cotton and 12% metallic with a 100% acetate lining. </p> <p>The washing instructions say Dry Clean.....do you think I can get away with machine washing it or not?</p> <p>If not, how often do you dry clean items that need it? </p>
