Polyester: washable or dry-clean only?

Question

I just bought a blouse that is 100% polyester. The tag says "Dry Clean Recommended". It really wasn't expensive so I'd like to avoid dry-cleaning if I can. Can I hand wash it instead?

Answer 1

Yes hand wash your blouse in cold water and mild soap like dawn or woolite.  They suggest dry cleaning because of the interfacing in the collar and other parts of the blouse.Hang your blouse to drip dry in the shower and you will most likely not need to iron it.

Answer 2

Machine wash....on delicate cycle if don't have one use a delicate bag. Warm wash not hot. Other than that hand wash it.

Answer 3

yes, wash it a delicate bag with your regular wash on cold.   then air dry it.

you may also put in the delicate wash by its self on cold & then air dry it.

Answer 4

all the polyester i've ever had was washable.
