Really, do you invest in a great piece only to be afraid you'll ( or your dry cleaner) ruin it as soon as you wear it?
Well, I've had my experience with clothing damaged by a dry cleaner and avoiding white tops out of a fear of stains and the top getting dingy after wearing it several times.
I have been using the Laundress products for a few months (at my own expense - this is not sponsored) and have had great success with their products and tips.

Perhaps you already know about the dynamic cleaning duo of Lindsey Wieber Boyd and Gwen Whiting (co-founders of The Laundress). Here is my review:
I've used the stain remover, the all-purpose bleach and whites detergent to revive my white tops. I've also restored a Tahari rayon/polly blend suit that was stained by two dry cleaners (the second cleaner obviously didn't restore the suit from the first one's damage) years ago.
I'll admit, using a steamer (they recommend steaming wool, suiting, silk, etc. while the garments are still wet) is work, but the gratification of great results makes it worth the time. I want my clothes to last until I'm ready to discard them.
Their concentrated cleaning products are eco-friendly ... biodegradable and contain essential oils instead of chemical fragrances. The scents also have not aggravated my uber-sensitive skin.
