I've also had good luck with Dryel. They have some kind of cleaner that comes in a small tube in their kit and it is very effective in getting out stains. I find that I use some of that stuff even when I'm not using the whole kit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193961 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 11:00:42 +0000 April 193961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like I need one of those Dryel pens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193849 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 02:10:31 +0000 Tanya 193849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray!

I spot-cleaned with a bit of dilute baby shampoo and Dryel-ed it and they came out perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193269 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 01:45:59 +0000 taylor 193269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm. I have never tried Dryel either. You all say it's great for spot cleaning at home!! Must give it a shot...thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193230 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 01:06:16 +0000 Dashrashi 193230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My rule of thumb is whether it says "dry clean" or "dry clean only." If the former, I'll give hand-washing a try. If the latter, I take their word for it. (I've never used Dryel--I've been using coin laundromats for a few years.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193208 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:18:30 +0000 Tanya 193208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Dryel. It works miracles on my wool peaces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193200 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:53:00 +0000 Sihaya 193200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the wool makes me nervous too but there is a product - i think it's called Dryel that you can find in stores to help wtih it. good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193199 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:51:17 +0000 JennyK (NC) 193199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a dry-clean-at-home product you can find in supermarkets, drugstores, Target, etc that may help you if you have time to run to the corner. </p> <p>There is more than one brand but the one I have at home is called Dryel. It includes something for spot-cleaning. You can test it on the hem first to be sure it won't discolor or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193197 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:45:36 +0000 Beth 193197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eek. The wool content makes me nervous. Is the area small enough that you can try spot cleaning it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-laundry-question-please-help#post-193196 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:41:26 +0000 elpgal 193196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dropped some food on a pair of pants I need for tomorrow's trip. Can I hand wash them? The tag recommends dry cleaning. </p> <p>The composition is 88% Virgin Wool, 7% Nylon, 5% Lycra Spandex</p> <p>I won't be too disappointed if I can't launder them, but then I will need to plan a new outfit and I'd rather be preparing for my trip. </p>
