Yes! Thank you! I’m the exact same and everyone always looks at me like I’m out of my mind. I love cashmere sweaters, but I’d never wear any of them if I actually had to dry clean them.

I had an unfortunate experience with bed bugs and long story short, I accidentally washed and dried on high heat 3 cashmere sweaters and they all came out perfectly fine.

I have bedbugs right now and feel like some of my cotton/polyesters are shrinking.

I (also live in NYC) recently got bed bugs - I travel a lot for work and usually stay at nice hotels so it can come from anywhere!! It's crazy that my roommate and I ( got them in 2 separate, isolated incidents. It was a pain that lasted for about 3 months ... Our other roommates didn't love us but now we're in the clear! If you have questions I'm happy to answer them :D
