When laundry day rolls around, it can be tempting to chuck everything into the washer… a delicate or hand-wash setting should do the job, right? However, there are some items you need to treat with a little TLC if you want to keep them looking (and feeling) lovely. Whether it’s a favorite cashmere jumper, a pricey silk blouse, or lacy delicates, knowing how to hand-wash clothes the right way, is the only way to ensure the best results.
Knowing what – and when – to hand-wash is more useful than you might think when it comes to how to do laundry. Even if you don’t own much in the way of ‘delicate’ clothing, it's handy to master; for smaller loads, when traveling, for heavily stained garments, or as an alternative to costly laundromat trips.
