Can I use this product on a 100% cotton coat which is dry clean only?Name: Rose
Message: hi, Can I use this product on a 100% cotton coat which is dry clean only? Which product are you referring to? Assuming that you are talking about some sort of dye, since many different dyes are discussed on my website, no, you cannot dye anything that cannot be washed. Some items marked "dry clean only" turn out to survive washing very well, whereas others will ruined, especially clothing that has a lining. (Typically, the lining will not shrink as much as the outside of the garment, which will ruin its fit.) If you wash your coat in the washing machine and it survives, and if it is also neither water-resistant or stain-resistant, then you will be able to dye it. I recommend a cool water fiber reactive dye, such as Procion MX dye, applied in the washing machine. (Please help support this web site. Thank you.) Posted: Friday - October 03, 2008 at 08:26 AM
