How do you wash a school blazer?

Answer 1

It depends which fabric was used to make the blazer. Cotton Blazers can be safely washed in cold water and very low dryer temperatures and then hung out on a hanger to finish drying so it can be pressed when it is slightly damp.

If it is wool, rayon or a wool blend you must take it to the dry cleaners. Water will ruin any blazer that has wool in it.

A polyester blazer can be washed in cool water and a low dryer temperature.

Beware of using spot removers. You must test the spot remover in the inside of the blazer first. Just a drop.

You cannot put store bought spot remover on wool blazers.

The best rule is "if in doubt take it to the cleaners" because it cost more to replace a school blazer than it does to pay for the dry cleaning or washing bill.

Consult your house parent if you are in a boarding school because the school may have an agreement with a local dry cleaners for discounts for the students.
