cleaning

Has someone tried to clean current seazon PH tweed jacket (50%Wool/50%Linen). "Handwash" is written on the tag, and I'm confused about whether it is cleaning instruction .

That is cleaning instructions. If the jacket fits perfectly i'd avoid washing as long as possible. I almost never wash jackets unless absolutely required. Maybe a gentle steam. Reiterate, fancy french laundry is the only way to go. They have the best soaps/detergents and take their craft seriously. Not the type of place that will do something idiotic and not accept responsibility.

How does the polyurethane / wax coating on some pants hold up after a wash?

I just received a pair of ma+ heavy cotton jersey 5-pocket pants and there's no washing instructions, are these machine washable or should they be hand washed or dry cleaned?

[kuugaia]

I wouldn't think that machine-washing it would do any real harm - but hand washing/dry cleaning is always the better choice B. I'm assuming its the same material as my aviator, which thus far, I've only hand washed gently.

When in doubt, hand wash. I don't trust anyone else with my stuff

bought a RO knit says no hand washing or vaporizing. So, I guess I can only dry clean? It has a blend of materials so I have no idea.

I'm curious about this Electrolux Air Wash, it's supposed to wash your clothes in just a few minutes, completely without water with just air and negative ions. Probably expensive as hell (if yet on the market) buy that would be great to have at home! Anyone have any experience with it?

electrolux from what i know is mainly an industrial brand; that is for laundromats and the like. they are belgian or german? something european and have been importing under the importers name for about half a century now. your best bet would be to call customer service rep in your area..

Julius top I got off of SuFu just came in, and while it's a great addition to my wardrobe, the seller failed to mention he smokes, and the shirt reeks of it .

It's from SS09, 80% Cotton, 20% silk blend, says handwash, no dry cleaning. Before I go dunk it in the sink with a little Tide, any tips or tricks on getting the smell out?

[Urthwhyte]

^ leave it for half a day outside in the fresh air, that should already do a good job, i think.

And if that shouldn't work? Airing out is typically what I would do after clubbing, but this is much, much stronger than that residue has ever smelled to be. It amazes me the seller thought it would be fine to not mention it anywhere in his thread ><

[Urthwhyte]

^ then you may want to try this procedure, good luck :)

Will do. Thank you so much for the help! (and best of luck getting that skirt sorted, it's a beautiful item)
