All those sweaters you own that say they are “dry clean only” can be hand washed at home. It will turn out smelling better and it is better for the environment. To get started you will need natural shampoo, natural conditioner, three basins of water,two hangers and a towel.
Put some of the shampoo into your hand and then swish it in the water to create warm soapy water. Then put your sweater into the water and swish it around like washing, then when done, squeeze it to get the soapy water out. Next, put your sweater in the clean water for a rinse. Squeeze out as much water as possible without twisting the sweater. Now it goes in the water that you have put conditioner in. Swish around the same way.
Lay your towel out flat on a table. Take your sweater out of the water and squeeze one more time, again, no twisting or wringing as this will misshape the sweater. Lay the sweater as flat as possible on the towel, roll up the towel and push on it so the towel absorbs the water. Hang up the sweater and put the second hanger across the waistline, like a hammock.
