Ever since Carson Kressley said on TV that leaving dry-cleaning in the plastic sleeves ruins the fabric, Mrs Cad has been on a kick theat the plastic MUST be removed as soon as we get home. What’s the straight dope? Does it matter if plastic is on someting for a week or two?
i have a suggestion that will hopefully help.
many dry cleaning places are selling green bags for your clothes. it is the canvas bag of cleaning, you bring your clothes in it and you take them home in it. no plastic at all.
i thought the take off the plastic right away, was to let the clothes breath and allow the fumes of the solutions to leave.
I leave the plastic on and my whites don’t yellow in the closet. Why do they do that?
Considering how often clothes are left at the cleaners for weeks, and how often seldom-warn items are brought home then left in the plastic until worn, it seems to me that if the plastic was doing harm to fabrics we’d all have heard about it years ago & the industry would have switched to a different plastic.
Who is this supposed authority on some unnamed TV show who has taken over your wife’s mind?
