    Dry cleanings way expensive and unnecessary. Just wash your sweater inside out or put it in one of those sweater/lingerie bags in to the washing machine.

    After, hang dry it.

    After its dry, to make it super soft, put the sweater into the dryer with a softner for a couple of minutes.

    Another option if your sweater is dry, but wrinkled, get a spray bottle filled with water and spray all over your sweater til its a "little" damp, then throw it into the dryer for a few minutes. I do it to my pants too especially when I'm running late in the morning and I don't have enough time to iron my clothes ... lol

    You shouldn't iron sweaters, usually they will be wrinkle free if you hang them up to dry right after you wash them.

    stop ironing your sweaters.. I hope you don't use hangers either. you don't need to iron sweaters. if you must iron . use steam setting on your iron and put a towel over the area you iron .. low setting.

    Dry Cleaning is too expensive. Wash it with hand. Or after you wash it, never put it in dryer. Just shake it and make sure it’s not crumbled. And leave it over night!

    Next morning... Congratulations... it’s not out of shape anymore!

    Genius!
