so I've got this pair of dress pants that I rather like, [bought em about a month ago], and they're dry clean only [I discovered this after buying them].
they are 70% Polyester and 30% Rayon. Can I get away with sticking them in a washing machine, maybe on a delicate cycle? I'd really rather not have to spend 10 bucks every time they need a wash.

If they're cheap pants and you don't need to look like the president, wash them at home. With the money you'd be spending on dry cleaning them, you could buy new pants after a a few washes. And I've thrown my poly/rayon pants in the washing mashine at least half a dozen times without a problem. |
