I have a couple of beaded tops that state "Do not Wash. Do not Dry Clean." How do I clean them after wearing?
Question:There are no spots or stains on them. Just persperation.
Answers:
I have beaded tops too and I turn them inside out and wash them by hand with Woolite. I dry them flat and they look great! Don't be afraid to wash them. I've been doing this for years with alot of my tops and haven't ruined any yet!
Hand wash in a sink of cold water with a cleaning product such as woolite.
You clean them by hand in sink,they can;t take the washer cycles.use mild detergent,then lay flat to dry.
I agree with the last answer only do not make the mistake of wringing them dry. You will have to swish them around and then lay them out on a towel and very gently roll it up to squeeze out the excess moisture.
Than hang on a hanger that is big enough to fill it out and let it dry.Good luck!
If they were mine, I would wear them until I felt I absolutely HAD to wash them. Before I would hang them in a fresh air location to freshen, spray lightly with Febreze.
If I absolutely HAVE to wash it. Tepid water in a sink, with Woolite and gently press into the water. Soak for 10 or 15 min. Pull the plug to drain. Fill again with tepid water and just let the water flow through the garment to rinse it..
Lay several layers of beach towels on a flat surface and lay the garment on the towel, lay a couple of layers of towel on the top and just hand press on it to soak water out of it.
Lay out another layer of towels, again move the garment to the fresh dry towels and lay it out to dry on it. It might take a day or two. Be sure it is in shape. It might be good to draw a size outline on paper before washing, so you have a pattern for the size to reshape it to.
Do not squeeze wring or hang wet. The threads could stretch all out of shape. Good Luck, I hope this is helpful.
hand wash woolite lay flat to dry [ cold water]
They only state "do not wash" because they are too delicate to be washed in a machine. It is perfectly fine to hand wash the clothes. Just remember not to wring them out.
