Does cotton clothing have to be dry-cleaned?
Ans. Cotton is easily laundered at home, but some cotton fabrics and garments may need a special treatment. Keep an eye out for embossed designs, loose knit weaves that snag easily, delicate embellished fabrics, linings, shoulder pads and inner construction and special finishes that come out in the wash. Garments that for sure require professional pressing and finishing are ones such as starched oxford shirts.
