1 AnswerOther - Home & Garden1 decade agoCould I handwash/machine wash this "dry clean only" shrug that is made of linen/cotton/spandex?
It's lightweight summer shrug, so it isn't lined or anything. Why would it need to be dry-cleaned? Can't you machine wash linen/cotton/spandex?
I have sensitive skin, and I can't wear it until I wash it or it will irritate my skin. I know about those things that you can put in the dryer with "dry clean only" clothes, but in this case I don't need to freshen the shrug--I need to get the chemical residue out of it.
This is the shrug, btw:
