100% silk sweater pullover

This is a Brooks Brother pullover to wear with jeans, casual wear, etc. It
says dry clean only......possible to wash this in woolite? Thanks

I would, but I would also be prepared for the worst possible outcome:
ruining it.

If it says "dry clean only" then... dry clean it only.
You might try the home dry clean products that work in your dryer –– but
IMHO they aren't worth the price.

I've had great success washing silk items in Woolite. Make sure you double
rinse to get all of the soap out and lay flat to dry. You may have to pull
the sweater back into shape. I also steam press mine after they're dry. DH
has some very nice ones from Norm Thompson that I've washed a few times
each. The only problem you may have eventually is pilling. But that comes
with wear too.
Good luck!

I would follow the dry cleaning instructions rather than risking the
possibility of ruining the garment. Is it stained or does just need
cleaning?

Thanks all. It is not stained.....just needs cleaning. I may try that
home dryer method.
