My suits see a dry cleaner maybe once a year.  After I wear them they are brushed down and properly hung in the closet.  A friend washes here Hermes scarves in the washing machine and them presses them by hand-I've not done that, but I am a big advocate of home laundering.  I wash all my cashmere by hand and lay flat to dry.  I also love to iron, so...<br><br>Last weekend a friend was visiting and we started a discussion of how to clean a $14,000 Ralph Rucci jacket we saw.  I made the statement that women who can afford that do not get things dirty--they never drop food on themselves, never open a door, walk from one carpeted floor to another, etc.  He said he could never do it--he'd ruin it in a heartbeat.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[just me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 4:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG Trom Bruno: Premium Washer Headed for Korea]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/lg-trom-bruno-premium-washer-headed-for-korea/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/lg-trom-bruno-premium-washer-headed-for-korea/</guid><description><![CDATA[a bit too industrial looking for me- and i think they are too tall! so even if I had that much money set aside for a washer and dryer- I do not think I would buy it!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 4:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG Trom Bruno: Premium Washer Headed for Korea]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/lg-trom-bruno-premium-washer-headed-for-korea/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/lg-trom-bruno-premium-washer-headed-for-korea/</guid><description><![CDATA[Garment makers generally specific dry cleaning to reduce the risk of shrinkage; not because it cleans any better or is less destructive to clothing. And, there's nothing actually "dry" about dry cleaning.<br><br>One can read about the dry cleaning techniques used here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cleaning" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cleaning</a><br><br>Any good front loading washer, used with a high quality enzyme detergent and oxygen bleach, will generally do just as good a job as a dry cleaner with minimal damage to clothing - Top loaders, with their excessive agitation and water usage, and chlorine bleach are really destructive to fabrics.
