My local dry cleaners is very expensive (or at least I think so - around 7 pounds for a short dress seems like a lot).
Any recommendations?

Buy washable clothes?
More seriously, you can buy sheets which you put in your tumble drier with dry clean only clothes. I am not sure if they would get things as clean as 'proper' dry cleaning, I think they advise you to spot clean first.
And if you've got something you don't mind losing, try washing it on a gentle programme. A bit trial and error, don't do it with your best dress!Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Another thought, some laundrettes USED to have DIY dry cleaning machines. Full of dire warnings about the possible dangers of using them, so they've possibly been withdrawn on H&S grounds. But maybe worth looking out for.
Of course you don't get things pressed afterwards with either of the methods I've suggested.Signature removed for peace of mind0
