Clothing manufacturers are required to attach a "permanent care label" to most clothing indicating the care recommended. Labels may be in the back of the neckline, waistline, or a back or side seam. Check the care label to see if the fabric is washable or dry-cleanable. Some items that are washable cannot be dry-cleaned. The care label may also carry other warnings such as "Do not use chlorine bleach." Be sure to follow these recommendations.
