Question Washing dry-clean only stuff at home?...

Ok I'm not an expert when it comes to washing stuff, but basically got a few jumpers which are wool so dry-clean only, but I really can't be arsed to go to a dry cleaners, drop them off, go back another time to collect etc!

Can these items be washed at home?! They're not dirty as such - just need a freshen-up. I know washing at 40 degrees will make them suitable for midgets, who about a 20 degree wash or handwash?

Handwash with proper wool detergent, you can get it at most supermarkets. Otherwise you will need to be Verne Troyer to get into them again

Oh and watch out how you dry too. Stretch into shape and dry flat if poss
