Can You Hand Wash Viscose That Says Dry Clean Only?
It is generally recommended to follow the care label instructions for any garment, including viscose fabrics that say “dry clean only.” However, some viscose fabrics may be hand washed with caution. To hand wash, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent, then gently agitate and rinse the garment. It is important to avoid wringing or twisting, and instead press out excess water and lay flat to dry. Keep in mind that the garment may still be at risk for shrinking, stretching, or color fading, so it is best to test a small, inconspicuous area first or seek professional cleaning services.
