No longer do you have to forego cashmere cardigans because you’ll never find the time to drop them off at the dry cleaner. LG’s new Steam Direct Drive Washing Machines let you do your dirty work at home, thanks to its
LG’s unique new Dual Spray system which spews forth hot steam for 40 minutes and then spends the next 20 minutes sucking creases out of your attire.
They’ll be available in cherry, rose, aqua blue, black or white from June 2006.
We say: Anything that elininates the need for expensive trips to the dry cleaners and ironing gets our vote!

Not that I have any “cashmere cardigans” but is it really good/not-bad for clothes (of any type) to be hit w/ 212+ degree water for 40 minutes straight?? is that really what happens at the dry-cleaners? if so why is it called “dry”-cleaning?

But how much will be the steam-cleaned cardigans shrink? I suspect they may barely fit your kids’ Barbie doll after this treatment.
