Do you wash your clothes or get them dry cleaned?

i wash all my clothes at home and have never given any thing for dry cleaning. of course I use a washing machine for most clothes which are not delicate and can take rough tumbling. I use a mild detergent for delicate clothes and woolens and scrub them with my hands. it works out well. I try to iron al the clothes too myself, but certain clothes need a heavy iron so i give them to the laundry for ironing. how many of you wash your clothes at home yourself?

Yup, it's the same for me. Most of the clothes go into the washing machine, like jeans, tshirts and casual wear. My working clothes especially the cottons and silks, I will hand-wash. The only clothes that I send for dry cleaning will be the coats and jackets.

i cannot afford to dry clean anything so i just wash things at home.. i dont buy insanely expensive clothes anyways so i can get away with it more.. and if it damages them its not as big of a loss

I was all of my clothes in the washer. I don't had wash anything. I put them in on delicate cycle, light wash with a gentle detergent. I do dry clean most clothes that require such.

Someone comes to my house every weekend to do the laundry and press my clothes. I used to do them but now that I'm working on multiple jobs, I'm too tired to do it. Its convenient for me and my hands don't hurt too :)
