Dry cleaning vs Laundry

‎04-01-2014 08:57 AM

Can most cotton/spandex blends be dry cleaned? Dreamjeannes, Women with Control, etc? Is this a way to avoid shrinkage when having them cleaned while on a cruise or travelling? I have a fear of my pants coming back 3 sizes too small from hot water laundering while travelling!

you could always rinse in the sink, and hang to dry in the shower. how long is your cruise going to be?

It's 15 days, a trans-Atlantic. We get free "laundry" and dry cleaning while on board, therefore my question. I doubt very seriously if they do cold water, delicate, warm dry then hang!!!!! Figured dry cleaning would be safer maybe?

Cotton/spandex blends can definitely be dry cleaned. Some manufacturers even recommend it. It's a fabric that has a tendency to shrink.

I'm sure they can be dry cleaned unless it says on the tag not to. i would like to add though that I wash my cotton span Denim & co in hot water and put it in a hot dryer every week and they have not shrunk as yet.

Why would you want dry cleaning chemicals next to your body?

If you love them I wouldn't take any chances and would dry clean while on your cruise.
