It depends on the fabric and what I'm wearing them for. Most things go in after one wear and others like church clothes get worn many times before cleaning or laundering. Cottons get worn once and fabrics like wool, not quite so often.

I try very hard not to buy clothes that need dry cleaning because paying for dry cleaning is one of my pet peeves. However, Ross is forever having clothes dry cleaned. Every shirt he wears to work, after one day, goes to the dry cleaners. It's an expense that I wish we didn't have, but I'm not ironing all those shirts. Been there, done that ages ago and they hardly looked as good as they do when dry cleaned.

Anyone found a way around dry cleaning?
