GET THIS THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD SPENDS ABOUT $500 ON DRY CLEANING EVERY YEAR THAT’S
ACCORDING TO
INDUSTRY REPORTS BUT THERE ARE
SOME THINGS THAT YOU CAN CLEAN
ON YOUR OWN AND OTHER WAYS YOU
CAN ALSO CUT DOWN ON YOUR BILL
AND MELANIE LAWSON IS BACK WITH
MORE LAUNDRY TAX MONEY.
>>LAUREN VERNO: LISTENING
CLOSELY TO THIS ONE.
AND JEN I’M WITH YOU I TRY TO
WEAR IT AS
A LOT YEAH I GO TO THE DRY HAS
TO GO SOMETIMES. I MEAN BY THAT
NOW I’M WITH
YOU I SAY IT’S IT’S IN MY BACK
SEAT UNTIL I EVENTUALLY MAKE IT
THERE.
I HAVE WORN CLOTHES, MANY TIMES
MAYBE EVEN TWICE TOO LONG, I’LL
JUST
SAY THAT SO CHECK THIS OUT THIS
IS A SHIRT THAT APPARENTLY I
CAN WATCH AT HOME AND I’VE BEEN
SENDING IT TO THE DRY CLEANER,
BUT I LOOKED
AND ONE OF THE KEYS HERE IS TO
REALLY UNDERSTAND
THE ICONS SO ON HERE IT LOOKS
LIKE SOMEONE’S LITTLE HAND IS
HANDWASHING WHICH MEANS THAT I
CAN HAND WASH IT.
THE KEY WHEN YOU ARE
HANDWASHING SOMETHING THAT’S
KIND OF FLIMSY LIKE THIS IS YOU
DON’T EVER WANT TO STICK IT IN
THE DRYER. >> YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HANG IT AND YOU DRY AND
I’LL SHOW YOU A QUICK WAY TO
MAYBE DRY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU
ARE HANDWASHING. >>LAUREN VERNO: THIS IS A DRESS THAT WERE WHITE BIRTHDAY
PARTIES AND IT SAYS I SHOULD
NEVER
WASH IT. DRY CLEAN. IT WATCH IT
TO SPOT CLEAN IT. SO THAT’S
INTERESTING. I DIDN’T QUITE
KNOW THAT
ABOUT THIS. NOW HERE’S
SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS
INTERESTING BECAUSE I WAS
READING THAT YOU REALLY
SHOULDN’T DO PLEAT SAYS YOU
SHOULD SEND THOSE TO THE DRY
CLEANER.
BUT I LEARNED FROM A FASHION
THAT IF YOU TAKE YOU KNOW ONE
OF YOUR
HAIR TIES AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY
LIKE BUNCH THIS UP LIKE THIS
AND THEN YOU CAN WASH IT HELPS
THAT ONE BROOKE SORRY, YOU CAN
WATCH THIS. BUT IF YOU TAKE IT
AND YOU KIND OF.
GET A BETTER HAIR TIED IN THESE
ANYWAY TIE IT AND THEN THAT’S
GOING TO KEEP IT PLEADED AND
THEN
YOU CAN YOU KNOW PUT ONE HERE
ONE HERE AND THEN YOU CAN GO
AHEAD AND WATCH THIS AND IT
WILL KEEP THE PLEADING THAT’S
IF YOUR RECIPIENT TO TAKE
THAT RISK. THIS WAS MY LAUREN
THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT
THIS IS A CASHMERE
SWEATER THAT BECAUSE I DID GO
AHEAD AND WASH I KNOW SO BAD.
>> NOW YOU KNOW YOU KNOW BETTER
YEAR.
>> WALL.
>> ME IS THAT SOMEONE ALWAYS
TAKE MY CLOTHES OUT OF THE
WASHER THAN STICKS IT IN THE
DRYER AND I’M LIKE WAIT, WE
HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND MAKE
SURE THAT EVERYTHING CAN BE
DRIED SO YOU KNOW KASHMIR’S YOU
DEFINITELY DON’T WANT TO WATCH
AT HOME YOU WANT TO
DRY CLEAN. BUT I DID READ THAT
WALL YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT,
BUT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
YOU’RE STRETCHING IT OUT
ON THE COUNTER YOU KNOW AGAIN
NOTHING THAT YOU EVER WANT TO
PUT INTO THE DRYER.
ALL RIGHT SO HERE’S A COUPLE
TIPS FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE
SOMETHING THAT YOU’RE
SKEPTICAL ABOUT YOU CAN TAKE A
SPOT TEST. SO YOU WANT TO PUT
IT SOMEWHERE THAT YOU KNOW NO
ONE IS GOING
TO SEE USE A LITTLE WATER MAYBE
A LITTLE DETERGENT IF YOU WANT
TO YOU JUST GOT TO KIND OF TAKE
A COTTON BALL OR
ACUTE SAID, AND IF IT FADES OR
IF IT STARTS TO BELIEVE THAT
SOMETHING YOU DEFINITELY WANT
TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT TO THE
DRY CLEANER BUT A SPOT TO
SOMETHING YOU CAN DO.
ALSO IF YOU’RE HANDWASHING YOU
WANT TO DO IT IN THE SAME MAYBE
A LITTLE LIGHT OR A GENTLE
CLEANSER AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE
IT AND ROLL IT IN A TOWEL TO
GET SOME OF THE WATER OUT.
SO AGAIN YOU WANT TO KIND OF
PRESS THAT THROUGH BECAUSE WE
NEVER WANT TO PUT IT IN THE
DRYER AND THEN YOU CAN HANG IT
TO DRY. SO REALLY THE KEY IS I
MEAN YOU CAN TAKE SOME REST
BUT YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO
CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT IT
ACTUALLY CAN HANDLE THE WATER,
YOU KNOW MIKE HARRIS OVER AT
OCEANSIDE CLEANERS
DID SAY THE ONE THING THAT THEY
ALWAYS DO AS THEY PRESS IT
BEAUTIFULLY FOR YOU AND IF YOU
DO TAKE IT TO THE DRY CLEANER.
LET THE PERSON KNOW WHAT YOU
THINK THE STATE IS AND
THEREFORE THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY
NEED TO DO TO TRY TO GET STAINS
OUT BECAUSE THEY’RE MUCH BETTER
THEN WE ARE BACK
TO YOU.
>>LAUREN VERNO: NOW I DO HAVE
TO TELL YOU SINCE WATCHING YOU
THIS MORNING I ALREADY BOUGHT
THAT SPRAY CLEANER THAT YOU’VE
BEEN SHOWING US ALL MORNING
LONG. OH YEAH, IT’S ARRIVING
TOMORROW.
>> ALL RIGHT LET ME SHOW YOU
REAL QUICK, I KNOW, I’M BEING
WRAPPED BUT I THINK THIS THING
REMEMBER IT WAS JELLY BARBECUE
SAUCE AND MUSTARD ONLY THING I
SEE IS A LITTLE MUSTARD AND ALL
THE GUYS FROM DID
THAT WELL BUT THIS IS REALLY
IMPRESSIVE AND I DO HAVE TO
POINT OUT THERE ACTUALLY WERE
STAINS ON THIS BEFORE I STAYED
AT TODAY AND BECAUSE I WAS TO
GET TRASHED IF IT DIDN’T WORK,
BUT NO IT’S GOING TO BE WEARING
THE SHIRT BECAUSE IT’S IN GOOD
SHAPE. YOU CAN YOU SEND US A
PICTURE OF KNOW WEARING IT HE’S
LIKE MOM.
WE KNOW DO
IT RIGHT NOW THIS IS ALL BEEN
AMAZING I YOU’VE HELPED SO MANY
