How to Not Dry-clean Your Blazer
Tips from Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd, co-founders of specialty-detergent brand The Laundress.

1. Spot-treat stains: “Start with hot kettle water; it works better than seltzer. For tough stains, use something surfactant-based, like our high-concentrate solution ($18).”
2. Deodorize underarms: “Turn the blazer inside out; spritz on a solution of three parts water, one part white vinegar.”
3. Steam in the shower: “The old trick of de-wrinkling by hanging your clothes in the bathroom while you’re showering still works.” — Lauren Schwartzberg
