Are 100% polyester jackets waterproof?

Jackets that are 100% polyester and one that is 92% polyester 8% Spandex - can I wash them in cold water?

  • Labels both say dry clean only, but I don't know why. Other polyester is washable, and Spandex is totally washable. I don't want to pay for dry cleaning (plus the hassle of getting it there and picking it up) if I can just toss them in my nice washer and then hang to dry. I also have a handwash cycle - do you think they would be ok going through that? Also have a 100% silk jacket - can I handwash that one without damaging it?

  • Answer:

    Wash in cold water and hang dry.
