Dry Cleaners Eating Your Money?!?!

Think you have to take that sheer voile blouse, beaded top, fringed silk shawl, or lace trimmed dress to the cleaners? Think again! You can clean these at home by simply tying the articles in a cotton pillow case, knotting it closed, and washing in cold water on regular cycle. Beads, sequins, buttons and delicate laces will not fall to pieces, and garments can be restored by steam ironing or steaming in the shower! My washer has a cycle for HAND wash that is EXCELLENT for dry cleanable items like down comforters, jackets, etc.
