Fabrics that should be dry cleaned are delicate ones that can&#8217;t handle the agitation and hot water from the washing machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What Fabrics Should Be Dry Cleaned?<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Wool<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Silk<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Rayon<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Linen<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Wool:<span style=\"color: #808080;\"> A sturdy and durable fabric like wool is too delicate to be machine washed, so it&#8217;s best to have it dry cleaned instead. The hot water and agitation from the washing machine will only ruin the fibres of the fabric. When cared for properly, it will last longer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Silk: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">This luxurious fabric is known to need proper care when it comes to cleaning and maintenance, so the suitable method of cleaning is to be dry cleaned. Alternatively, it can be hand washed in cold water.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Rayon: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">Since Rayon is a manufactured fibre made from regenerated cellulose fibre, it can be difficult to decide on the appropriate cleaning method. This semisynthetic fabric is best to be dry cleaned as it may shrink or deform in shape in the washing machine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Linen: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">This type of fabric can be hand washed as well as dry cleaned and often requires ironing. Linen is made of breathable flax fibres which, if washed incorrectly, can ruin the fabrics crisped finish.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What Fabrics Shouldn&#8217;t Be Dry Cleaned?<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Cotton<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Synthetic Fibres<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Cotton:<span style=\"color: #808080;\"> Although cotton is a natural material, it can tolerate the agitation of being machine washed as well as machine dried and does not need dry cleaning.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Synthetic Fibres: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">Clothing made out of <strong>Polyester<\/strong>, <strong>nylon<\/strong>, <strong>spandex<\/strong>, <strong>acrylic<\/strong> or <strong>acetate\u00a0<\/strong>does not require dry cleaning as they won&#8217;t have a negative effect in the washing machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Dry cleaning sounds like a long process but it&#8217;s actually really simple.
