With so many PUG items being labeled "dryclean only", have any of you ladies tried other methods for cleaning your clothes, especially for items that will be worn often (and thus would otherwise rack up frequent cleaning bills)? Would you handwash, or machine wash cold? Machine wash warm, or would that be too much? Tumble dry no heat, or hang to dry? Any other suggestions?

Ohhh thank you thank you, this is all tremendously helpful advice! I had half-remembered the pillowcase trick (only in regards to there was some sort of bag you could put delicates in), but that's much clearer. The flat dry trick is good too.
Thank you again!
any one chanced hand washing an AVA?
Good to know not everybody runs to the drycleaner every time! I try not to wash them too often. Instead I sometimes hang worn pieces outside for a night. The morning haze really freshes it up. Over here (Europe) there is a saying that the morning haze takes the smell away. Afterwards steam iron for getting back the right shape or losing creases.
I have never dry cleaned any of my PUG items. I really only dry clean items such as expensive heavy coats and jackets.
I usually put my items in the hand wash cycle of the machine then dry them inside. I have accidentally washed one of my joanie tops in a hot cotton cycle and it was fine.
I think a lot of companies write 'dry clean only' to cover themselves if something does go wrong but I read the label, take the risk and if something goes wrong I will accept responsibility. I have never ever had an issue, though. I did have red colour run on a Collectif dress from the dress to the collar once but it came out with another wash straight away. If I was to take every 'dry clean only' item in my wardrobe to the dry cleaners, I'd be there every day and spend a fortune.
