5 Easy Steps To Wash A ‘Dry Clean Only’ Coat At Home

Steps To Wash Your ‘Dry Clean Only’ Coats By Hands

Step 1: Take a large container or bucket and fill it with cold water. Add one tablespoon of a mild detergent and use your hand to stir it well. Make sure you check the detergent label for mild and gentle. In case you have woollen or silk fabric, use specialised detergent.

Step 2: Submerge the coat into the detergent water, and flip it back and forth to make sure every corner is completely drenched. You don’t need to rub or scrub the fabric, instead, let it soak for 10 minutes to make sure it's completely clean.

Step 3: Now drain the sudsy water, wash the container, and fill it with clean cold water. Again submerge the coat and remove the soapiness. Change the water as many times as it takes until the coat is no longer sudsy.

Step 4: Now, instead of squeezing water from the coat, lay it flat on a clean towel. Wrap the coat in it and let it soak until water no longer drips out of it. Use multiple towels to remove the excess water.

Step 5: Lay the washed coat on a clean surface and let it air dry inside the house instead of balcony or terrace, so it doesn’t catch the outside first or dust.

It's best to read the care instructions carefully and keep the luxurious garments aside for dry cleaning only. Not every piece of clothing can survive the home wash.
