Dry cleaning can be wasteful because many cleaners still use harsh chemicals, clothes get wrapped in plastic and hung with disposable hangers, and it can cost a lot of money to keep your clothes maintained this way. Take a moment to look at the labels of your clothes and sort them by those that read “Dry Clean Only” and those labeled simply “Dry Clean.” The ones marked “Dry Clean Only” should be cared for by a professional, while many of those marked “Dry Clean” can be washed at home on a delicate cycle and hung up to dry.
