Dear ThriftyFun, I have a ton of clothing that requires dry cleaning. Do you or your readers know of any ways to save on dry cleaning? Thanks, Samantha.
Post your ideas online or email them to us and we will post them for you.

I like to hang my clothing up in a well-ventilated place with dryer sheets cut in half and placed in the arm-pitts. Just as long as there is no serious cleaning job needed this should have you clothing smelling fresh in no time!

If you haven't soiled the garment or haven't had wet armpit areas --- just hang the item up- turned wrong side out- and air out. I have things that have gone a dozen wearings without any dry-cleaning. And remember that dry-cleaning often won't get out body odor when cold wash and gentle wash will. (Especially when it was loaned to someone.) Don't iron a smelly garment, this sometimes sets the odor! I've read about someone, perhaps Coco Channel?, that had garments, that she only aired out. If it worked for her !

Dry cleaning means NO Heat. Liquids are used on fabrics that are dry cleaned. Also, the steam pressing is a key item.
I have a steam iron--that is lots of steam--and a big steamer.
I wash in cold water, air dry, then steam press for looks.

This is a bit strange and I wouldn't try it on just anything, but automotive brake parts cleaner seems to be about the same stuff as dry cleaning fluid. I tried it on a favorite old wool cap which had become quite soiled with motor oil, grease, dirt, etc. After spraying the cap down with cleaner I used cloth and a clothes brush on it. I repeated this a few times and then let it air dry for awhile, and though it didn't look like new, it sure looked a lot better than before!

You can go to a $1.75 cleaners or you can buy the home cleaners kit.
