Skirts that are lined or made of fabric that shrinks or is not colorfast should be professionally cleaned. A professional cleaning will help maintain the correct shape and fit. Professional cleaners have the equipment and expertise required for all types of skirts, including the lined and pleated skirts. They can also handle special fabrics.
The fabrics that include taffeta, silk, wool, velvet, acetate, or blends that include rayon, silk, and wool should be professionally dry-cleaned unless the care label says differently. Skirts that are made of suede or leather also should be dry-cleaned.
Check out the skirt label. Items with labels that say “dry clean only” should go to a professional dry cleaner. Washing may damage the fabric, color, or fit of the skirt.
If a label says “dry clean” it means that dry cleaning is recommended and you might be able to wash the garment at home. However, skirts that have special detailing, such as beading and embroidery, will definitely need professional dry clean. Otherwise, you might damage the details.
