Oh no :(</p> <p>Coincidentally, this is my first day wearing my brand-new red Equipment shirt (will post WIWs, I swear!), which I purchased since everyone else had issues washing their Nexx's. I'm going to be extra super-duper careful now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dryel-experience-good-and-bad#post-704470 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 18:53:30 +0000 MNsara 704470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoot! I have hand washed silks before and seen the colors (especially red is unstable) bleed out. Even then I was told to keep the item moving and not sitting in the water to avoid staining. . .</p> <p>I don't exactly know what color catchers are, but would they work in a Dryel batch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dryel-experience-good-and-bad#post-704452 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 18:40:02 +0000 rae 704452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that has never happened to me before! So sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dryel-experience-good-and-bad#post-704435 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 18:28:18 +0000 April 704435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I also just bought a Dryel kit and after I had spritzed an emerald-green silk shell and tossed it into that big bag, I read in the instructions that the Dryel processs isn't really recommended for silk. Duh-oh! </p> <p>I pretty much decided that I'm going to reserve Dryel for my pants that seem like they shouldn't need dry-cleaning yet say Dry Clean Only (hello, Banana Republic). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dryel-experience-good-and-bad#post-704363 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:49:05 +0000 Anonymous 704363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the warning. I'm sorry about your pants. Maybe a cleaner could get the dye out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dryel-experience-good-and-bad#post-704354 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:35:57 +0000 catgirl 704354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did my fire-orange Equipment shirt (which had a stain), my olive BR pants, black BR pants, and a lighter colored pair of pants. Everything came out great and the stain disappeared, except that the color from the shirt rubbed off onto the pants at the creases. Bleah! I was not necessarily in love with the pants anyway, but now I can't even consign them. Lesson learned: silk shirts shed color! </p>
