- I don't think you can actually wash the dry clean only items.... you only "freshen" them with steam (removes odors, wrinkles). Not all dry clean only items can withstand "steam" either... just fyi... be careful! nt - Robin inTx 21:53 Jun 30

- Darn! Gigi beat me to it! Just a "heads up" - the tracfone and 120 minutes for you and for a friend is *cheaper* than just buying minutes!!! (so, if you need minutes, buy yourself a tracfone, get the minutes and give the tracfone to a friend...or, of course, keep it for another family member.) - - nt - - - Rosemary in Colorado 11:28 Jun 30
