Step 2

For the “dry clean only” clothes, make the DIY solution. Combine 1 cup warm water, 1/4 cup vinegar, 1 tsp borax, 1 tsp oxygen bleach, and a couple of drops of lavender in a bowl and mix well. Soak a clean cloth into that solution. Meanwhile, put about three pieces of clothes in a sack or zip-top pillowcase together with the soaked cloth. Toss it in the dryer for 30 minutes.

For silk items, hand wash them with a bit of Ajax, then rinse well. After this, lay one on a dry towel, roll it up, then wring it, getting as much water as possible. Hang it up to air dry, then iron it with no steam.
