How Do You Wash Delicate Clothes?

Answer:

If you want your clothes to last, especially if you’ve spent a lot of money, you need to take care of them. When washing:

• Turn clothes inside out. This preserves the color.

• Set the washing machine to the delicates (or shortest) cycle (about 30 minutes). Any longer wastes energy and damages the fibers.

• Use a light organic detergent. It’s kinder to the environment and the fabric. If you prefer washing powder, use less.

• Wash lingerie in a mesh bag. It prevents the underwire in bras from breaking through the delicate fabric, and saves you time by not having to hand-wash.

• Don’t dry your clothes in direct sunlight as this will fade garments.
