If not, I see no reason not to gently machine wash it....but I would be wary of oxygen bleach, as you may end up with white rather than ivory? Perhaps a whites laundry detergent would be gentler? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cleaning-off-white-dingy#post-333833 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 20:10:19 +0000 morethanbeige 333833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what I'm thinking April. I'm wondering if I should take it to a dry cleaners to have them professionally launder it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cleaning-off-white-dingy#post-333831 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 19:53:23 +0000 April 333831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't imagine why denim would be dry clean only, but if you're planning to take a chance on washing it, maybe oxygen bleach? Like Oxy-clean? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cleaning-off-white-dingy#post-333822 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 19:28:18 +0000 morethanbeige 333822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lynne and Scarlet for the suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cleaning-off-white-dingy#post-333820 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 19:26:57 +0000 Scarlet 333820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is something called bluing or something like that for brightening whites that you can buy in the drug store, I think. Might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cleaning-off-white-dingy#post-333817 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 19:23:59 +0000 morethanbeige 333817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just checked label and it says 67% cotton, 31% polyamide, 2% elastane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cleaning-off-white-dingy#post-333803 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 19:09:53 +0000 Lynne 333803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:( poor you. If it is denim I don't see why it can't be gentle machine washed....but it's strange it came back from the DC like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-cleaning-off-white-dingy#post-333799 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 19:01:17 +0000 morethanbeige 333799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a stretchy ivory jean jacket that I love and is good quality. I've had it a few years and I just got it back from the dry cleaners and it looks sort of dingy, like dirty white. The label says dry clean only. I'm wondering if there is a way to brighten it up? Does anyone have any ideas? </p>
