Is there a proven way to hand wash dry-clean-only clothes successfully?
Question:Please share the process, it is so tedious and expensive to wash my work clothes weekly since I can't afford so many sets.
Thanks a lot.

You can get products to dry clean your clothes at home, at much less expense. It involves putting the clothes in the dryer with a special cloth. Try this sight for more info: http://www.drycleanerssecret.com/...
You may "wet wash" dry clean only items BUT once you do you can not chemical dryclean them after. Try steaming your clothes clean w/ a professional steamer...I have seen on infomercials. Add some concentrated high quality liguid detergent to the water to freshen the items or that Fabreez stuff!
You can't hand wash dry clean only clothing. I learned the hard way, when I washed a blouse that was to only be dry cleaned. I didn't read the label, hand washed it in Woolite, & it shrank horribly. I learned to read labels on clothing before buying them in the future.
Dryell works great in the dryer.
Take your least favorite piece of dry clean only and try this--put washer on gentle, put piece in, use cold water, gentle soap. When it is on rinse add some fab. softener--put in dryer on gentle for a few minutes to remove wrinkles, remove and hang to dry. I did it for years and it works perfect--do not do it with a jacket or something lined.
my grandparents used to own a dry cleaning store.. my gram told me if these ppl. jst knew that they could use Woolite they would b out of business... i'm surprised about the other ladies blouse. It has to b on gentle cycle... cold water & like someone else said.. put in the dry for a few on low temp 2 take the wrinkles out & hang to dry.
My gram even used it when it the material was wool... but it has to b cold water & hung dry.
Since u have lots of work clothes.. use the gently cycle vs washing by hand.
Use Woolite. Hand wash one piece at a time, rinse and hang on a hanger to drip dry. Make sure you have the good hangers with the skirt clips to hang skirts or slacks. Do not hang them on wire.
Be prepared to steam them after they are dry.
The only time I use a Dry cleaners is for my Husbands suits.
For their pressing mainly.
