No, go to Walgreen's, CVS, or Target and buy a Dryell bag and cleaner.

yes. they only get clean if you put them in the dryer, hence "dry clean only".

Go back and look at the tag real quick. Does it say Dry Clean Only Or Sometimes In The Washer But Not Dryer?

I spilled grilled chicken "grease"(?) on the front and the dry cleaner is closed. I don't want it to set overnight...

Oh, and once you're done washing them, make sure you charge your iPhone in the microwave.

I wash most of my button ups in the washer and hang dry them.

I wouldn't put them in the washer, as they'll never fit right again if you do...

I would go and get some spray n wash or something like that and soak the stain down...then bring them to the dry cleaners tomorrow...

I honestly think the cleaners should be able to get them clean tomorrow even if you do nothing tonight....

What is the material? I've done this before and fixed it but depends on the fabric.

Quick, I'm about to leave my office.

I can't find the fricking label, they're just regular slacks... Not cotton... Some kind of blend.

I'm just going to roll the dice and bring them in tomorrow

Worst thing you can do for a stain is try to get it out yourself.

Your dry cleaner has a chemical for every type of stain you can think of.

If you spray and wash, or any bullshite....it's in there to stay.
