    Default cleaning leather outfits?

    ...this might turn out to be a dumb question, but how do you clean leather and/or PVC costumes? I'm guessing they can't be thrown in the washer/dryer like lycra...so what do you do when they get dirty or smell sweaty?

    ^^ oops! why no lycra in the dryer? Does the heat break down the fabric or something?

    so it's OK to get the PVC skirt wet? I was worried it would grow mold or something if I hand-washed it.

    Could I take the leather outfit to the dry cleaner? (As long as I don't mind getting funny looks for bringing in a silver-studded leather halter top and matching micro-mini skirt... )

    Leather can be professionally cleaned.

    I always washed PVC by washing it in the sink, then hanging it up and rinsing it in the shower, then letting it dry in there too. It won't get moldy, certainly no more than any other hang-dry clothing would. Drying it inside-out is a good tip, though.
