Since dry cleaning takes years off your garments, I've been using dryel to refresh my gab sport shirts, but how safe is it for vintage garments in general?
I only use dryel, and I used to work in a dry cleaners'. Haven't been to a drycleaners' since Dryel was invented. Whoever invented it is my dreamboat!!! I don't hesitate to purchase a stank vintage garment anymore. Never had a problem. I've used it on delicates, silk, bright colors, beading, sequins, even fake fur even tho it says not to. Even bought a kit for when I'm visiting my Mom in Florida and we go vintage shopping. I am however saving up to purchase the Whirlpool Fabric Refresher for around 200 US$, or I may change my mind about actually ordering it when I have that much saved.
I dropped off a tweed sui for "professional wetcleaning." This was my last resort for the suit. I tried just about everything including Wildroot's vodka and water mixture. The musty BO smell just kept coming back.
I'm a bit worried about the results.
I actually signed a waiver to have this suit cleaned. [huh]
Keep me posted about the wetcleaning results, please. Where I worked, wetcleaning meant......washing. We wouldn't clean anything not according to the care label instructions so that is probably what the waiver was all about. Good luck.
